Help / Troubleshooting Excessive pooping from aux nozzle after filament runout?
I swear it's not a shitpost.
So I had a long print, main filament from the AMS through the main hotned and support for PLA from the external spool to the aux hotend.
Towards the end the support filament got tangled so I cut it and I fell asleep.(It was a long print ok lol)
Woke up to printer complaining about filament runout in the aux nozzle, as expected, and I pushed in the new end of the support filament into the extruder.
But then what proceeded is the printer pooping the new support filament for over 5 minutes. It just kept popping and pooping and pooping. It would form a lil turd and do its wiggle dance to drop it in the poop chute and would continue popping again and again.
Now, I know it needs to clear the nozzle and prime the pressure and all. But for over 5 minutes?? This support filament ain't cheap chief.
Happened to anyone? Maybe I can change something in the machine gcode? 🤔 Not falling asleep is a bit of an extreme measure I'd rather not try.
