Hey, Ive asked for advice on another site and I have been told that for PLA to work it needs to have a fan cooling it down. Is there a way to easily add a fan onto the Me Creator as I cant see another fan port on the board? I was thinking of printing a fan duct to place it above the print head ...

Problem fixed!!! The problem actually ended up being the cable that runs to the stepper motor had somehow become damaged. After fitting a replacement, the printer runs great again. Hope this helps others in the future!

OK ive just noticed something rather strange. Whens its doing a print, it will only stop extruding if it goes onto the further half of the print bed. If its printing along the closest half of the print bed then it works fine. What would cause it to do this?

Hi, I found that the PSU had been set to 220v instead of 110v which fixed the power dropping issue. It also fixed a few other problems expect for the main one. I have also updated the firmware but it hasnt fixed the extruder problem.

Hey thanks for the reply!

Its a Me Creator. Ill give this a try now and hopefully it fixes my problem!

Hey guys.

Some Im having trouble with my extruder feeding but I believe it might have something to do with the software. I think this because when it stops working, the LCD panel will either says "sleep..." or will literally be illegible.

Any help would be great as ...

I also just checked the power supply going into the printer and when its idle it sits at 12v but when I start a print the voltage drops to 9v. I asked someone on another forum and they told me that it means the power supply is broken and that ill need a new one. Do you think this is the case?

Hi, the nozzle actually doesn't touch the board at all :/ if you are talking about the noise you are hearing, its the x axis polls making the noise. As for the sth in LCD menu, im not actually 100% sure where to find that as im still a bit new with the printer, sorry!

Hey thanks for the reply :D

I check the voltages again and bumped them up to 1.1v each but it didnt seem to help :/

I took a video of it starting a print.

You can see the extruder motor just clicking back and forth without printing anything and I ...

Hi guys!

So last week I got new nozzles for my printer and was able to print a few pieces correctly and they came out better than the default nozzle. Then why I tried printing a third piece the printer got half way through it before it just started printing air! I noticed that the extruder head ...
