Re: PLA Clog
So here is how things have gone down. Printer stopped printing, as in no filament coming out. I figured this was because I had been doing a lot of printing at fine resolution (continuously) and the filament spool had been on the machine for 10 to 11 days. I have been printing eSun Black PLA at 200 C...

Re: PLA Clog
It is clogging at the initial purge before the print begins, when it goes to the side of the build plate.
And yet, every time the bed level is off. I for one will be glad when auto leveling upgrade is available.

With a brand new roll of eSun PLA+...same color that I have been using since I started printing about nine months ago. I have o...

Re: PLA Clog
It was able to run through about 50mm of filament before stopping. So I think the tension is not the problem.

Re: PLA Clog
For a few minutes I thought the problem was fixed. Removed the old head, put on the new clean head, ran some PLA through perfectly fine. Leveled the bed....again. Heated it up for a print (went full 220 for the extruder and 70 for the bed)...nothing...nada. So I am going to order a new hot end. Than...

PLA Clog
Using my MakerGear M2 Rev E, had been printing fine using eSun 1.75mm PLA+3D Filament Black. I was doing fine resolution 0.1mm printing and went about 11 days on a single roll when it clogged. My guess is that the PLA absorbed moisture and that caused the clog. Switched in a brand new nozzle and tri...

Re: Connection Timeout
Sorry about the lag in responding I have been swamped. I am using a PC with Windows 10, print from the SD card. When running Simplify 3D there are no time out issues. I was trying to get the bed and hotend heated up when the connection time out occurred. When trying to level the bed had to go quickl...
