Does anyone know if it is possible to unload filament from external spool using only the P1S controller? I know I can do this using Studio.
Similar question about loading the external spool. is there a load command where you push the filament against the extruder and it cycles the temperature and purges the old filament? Either via the controller or Studio.
Yes, both load and unload work from the controller. For unload you have to manually pull the filament once it’s been cut and the toolhead returns to the purge area. If you listen you can hear the extruder working and the toolhead will make a movement once the filament passes the sensor as you pull it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t then wait for you to load a new filament, you have to then click load and the nozzle will heat up again, the toolhead will do it’s cycle to the front and back before you can push the filament manually into the extruder.
Hello,
I’m having a problem with my P1S 3D printer when loading filament from the outside. When I try to load the filament, the nozzle is not positioned correctly at the filament inlet. As a result, it gets “lost” and forces on the printer’s axes, preventing correct loading and risking damage to the equipment.
The problem seems to be related to a misalignment or mispositioning of the nozzle during the loading operation, which causes a conflict with the movement of the axes. I can’t get the nozzle to position itself correctly in the filament discharge area.
Could you tell me how to solve this problem? Is it a software bug or a mechanical malfunction?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sorry I don’t have a clue what nozzle position when loading is.
You have to have a Y connection up from the extruder. So you feed filament directly into the top of the extruder from an outside roll.
On the controller just hit load.
Then unload when you want the machine to heat and cut the filament. You manually push and pull the filament out of the machine.
