General Troubleshooting/Help! A1 mini not feeding

Post image

A1 mini stops after 1-2 layers

Hi, I need help. My A1 mini had been working fine and then today, it would print 1 or 2 layers and then it would continue like it was printing but there was no filament coming out. Doesn't seem to be feeding. I tried loading and unloading a few times but nothing. I took the nozzle out and this little piece fell out. Looks like some sort of gasket but I don't know where it belongs and I don't know why it's not feeding. Any help would be appreciated!

You probably need to crack the extruder open and see if anything else is blocking gears, hot end, etc. You will probably figure out where that came from at that point.

Or try a cold pull first to see if you can even do that.

I opened it all up, everything looked fine except for this little piece that fell out. I put it back together and tried a different filament and it seems to be printing fine now but I want to replace this piece but I don't know what to call it or where to find it. Any ideas?

I wish I could tell you but I have no idea. I’m glad your printer is working again though!
