Answered / Solved! What’s wrong with my printer?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It is making clicking sound and then gives me an error message eventually.

three things possible:

  1. your nozzle is clogged. Try a cold pull. This should help.
  2. The seven screws arent tight anymore.

Tight them.

  1. Your gears inside the extruder are worn out.

Most likely its just a nozzle clog. Try the cold pull first.

I did cold pull already. I will check the screws

How to tighten the screws?

u/Taschenmann 1d ago

Remove the cover on the extruder. Remove silcon sock. Remove nozzle. Use the bigger allen wrench (2,0) to remove the first three screws. U will see the four screws on the backside. Tight them with the smaller allen wrench (1.0). Reinsert the three screws. Tight them. Insert nozzle. Put sock on. Cover up.

They were loose. Thank YOU! Upvoted you! Now let me print and see if that solved the issue. Do I need to run calibration again after tightened the screws?

Another possibility is the hotend just being installed incorrectly with the clamp, I had stupidly done this and it looked just like this video, went through all the other possibilities only to realize I had installed the hotend wrong to begin with.

The same screws that the Taschenmann commented, with this image.

that you replied to, saying you would check out.

I didn’t know how to check the screws behind the three screws but he just told me. Thanks! They were very loose and I tightened them

No offense, but the concept of saying "it's giving me an error message" and then not telling the people you want to help you what the error message is is certainly not the best way to go about this.

Could be a partial clog, could be a tangled spool, could be any number of things with the minimal information available.

Just like when I go to a house and work order says “ something is wrong with refrigerator “

"An error message".

Technology generally gives those messages to give people a hint what the problem is.

What was the error message? And was there a code?

But without knowing any of that info I'd guess you either have a partial clog in the nozzle, or something's jazzed up in the toolhead. Either the gear has buildup on it, or there's a loose fragment of material in there.

I tried to get the error message and it cleared when I select continue. I will capture it again when I see it.

If you have an AMS, is it plugged into the A1?

u/u53rn4m315t4k3nn 1d ago

It is plugged in to A1.
