i have a 3-v2 which i've had for 18 months. prints like a champ. now i am printing something new
half a tube, 3 in in diameter, 3 inches long
face down, it will hold the barrel of a kaleidoscope. this is just a test of the design
using a raft
it prints fine til the last 1/4 inch of height, barrel still not closed by an inch and then the head catches on the part and knocks it loose from the glass bed. oops
tried twice, fails the same place both times
i have printed rectangular things taller than this without problem.
now i can't get any print to work. i've had the hot end clogged, had to take apart to clear, i've fed 5 rolls of pla thru this machine without trouble.
i have migrated to direct drive and today replaced the extruder , loaded pla, got great flow, new tip
did the z offset check again, and mesh
started print but zoffset too low? what? i just did that at full temp?
now pla wont feed again, extruder skipping, chunk chunk chunk, digging a gouge in pla.
what is going on? did my hotend die? it says its at 210 (pla is 190-230). its been at that temp for 5 mins as i did the zoffset check (piece of paper test) its been -2.75 for the whole time. now wants -3.60????
i flashed new firmware 25 prints ago. nothing else has changed. same location. using octoprint, same pla. just switched rolls of pla, wont purge, extruder skipping, chunk....
