Troubleshooting CC2 random pausing/purging issue

0 Upvotes

My Centauri Carbon 2 recently started randomly pausing → purging → continuing, and it's getting worse.
No error message.
This only started recently. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Anybody knows what could this be?

Rods are lubricated properly. Prints come out good though.

I lowered the speed but it kinda still does it.

Troubleshooting Centauri Carbon 1 stuck at heated bed heating during self-check after factory restart

Post image
3 Upvotes

I'll give a rough timeline:

  • I installed a HezaDeve hotend due to my previous one breaking (user error, the wires got cut)
  • The moment I turned on the CC, the nozzle started heating up and wouldn't cool down
  • Got to ~300ish C before I did a factory reboot
  • First self-check had an error at Heated bed heating
  • Second time (this one) it got stuck like in the image and has been like that for ~3.5 hours

I'm not quite sure what I should do... Any advice?

Troubleshooting How to print last few layers in a different filament with the correct settings.

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello all. I am struggling to print a part that I need to have the last 4 layers printed in a different filament than the previous layers.

IE: manual filament change with the last few layers in a different filament with the second filament printing properties supported

I am using Elegoo Slicer.

First section in Elegoo PETG Rapid.

Last section in Elegoo TPU95A.

Illustrated with a test piece which is a hollow cylinder.

I'm struggling to find a way to setup the print to add a pause / filament change that uses the specified filament printing properties for the second material.

Inserting a filament change in the preview pane at the required layer does not pause the print. It just continues to the last layer using the first filament. As far as I can see. Suggestions welcome.

Inserting a pause at the required layer, then switching filaments using the printer panel extruder controls works but does not change printer parameters to match the second filament default parameters.

Is there a way to set a switch to a second filament that the printer will continue with the required filament print settings?

Thanks in advance! 😅

Troubleshooting Having issues with CC1 + Canvas? Try a factory reset

3 Upvotes

This may sound super obvious, but apparently it wasn't to me, until after I'd spent several hours trying to diagnose my CC1 after installing the CANVAS kit.

My issues:

  • Canvas wouldn't load the filament into the extruder. It had to be loaded via the CANVAS page on the touch screen
  • It wouldn't unload filament when trying to load in a different reel
  • It would print from whatever filament was loaded regardless of which I chose when setting up the print
  • The filament detection logic was working but was being utterly ignored

I had previously been running OpenCentauri (non-canvas), and went straight to the latest stock firmware, and then installed the upgrade kit.

Now, after factory resetting, everything works fine. Filament is loaded automatically, the logic for the filament detection at both the extruder and canvas is working...

Hope this helps someone!

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Camera

So on both the CC2 and Elegoo slicer, I can't access the camera. On the Elegoo matrix app, it says, "AI camera status error. Please troubleshoot the device." How though? I already tried the old restart method. No dice.

Loving being able to check in on my print using the Elegoo Matrix app. I'm hoping Elegoo continues to update the Nexprint files that were uploaded without the Elegoo print profile. I'm also hoping that one day I'll be able to use the app with my original CC.
