Mini G2S Extruders not extruding
Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2015 9:37 am
So I think I just about have everything dialed in on my G2S except the extruders don't seem to extrude. I have the 0.35mm nozzles with my kit. I do have trouble feeding the 1.75mm filament into the lower feeder tube that goes down to the extractor. I usually have to move the fan out of the way in order to make the filament feed. Does anyone have any tips on how to get the G2S extruders loaded easily? I can't say for certain if this is related to the failure to extrude.
Once I get the filament loaded, I am able to advance it all the way up to the hotend itself. When I heat the hotend to 200C, it heats up and if I let it sit there, I will see a slow ooze of filament coming out. That tells me the hotends themselves are not jammed. That being said, I can't make the motors force extrude any filament. With my other printer, if I manually extrude, a fine string of filament comes out. The motors either aren't strong enough to force it through the extruder or there is something set incorrectly. There are no directions on the what each screw adjuster does on each extruder. I would definitely like some tips here to see if I can get the extruders going. I am open to any number of suggestions here. I think this is the only thing left for me to do to be able to start printing.
