Print Issues & Modifications Log
Date | Issue | Status | Solution |
---|---|---|---|
09/20/2014 | Filament won't enter hot end. Gets stuck in the 1/4" wider gap between PFT tube and hot end internal PFT. | Rough Fix | Inserted 1/4" piece of PFT tube into the gap. Flared opening. |
09/20/2014 | Filament won't extrude out of hot end | Fixed | "Heat-to-cool" declogging approach did not work multiple times. Required to heat hot end, push pin into nozzle to push up obstruction, and then cool and extract. This way filament could "grab" obstruction before cooling. |
09/25/2014 | Repetier Host won't begin print sequence but other controls work fine. Temp feedback freezes. | Temporary Work Around | Using Pronterface, can consistently read temp and initiate print sequence. |
09/25/2014 | Filament doesn't extrude during print. Oozes fine when not printing. | In progress | Most likely another clog |
