Problems while printing

[Inovatech]

Hey - i´m new in betatesting the E180 ;)

my main-problem is:

while printing after a unspecific time the extruder stucks and not enough filament came to the nozzle -> Printing impossible -> bad printing -> Out for Trashcan. On the next printing there is again the same problem or even not! ... this "feature" is completely random!
My first idea was that the role on the filament-stand is to heavy to pull it for the extruder but i have checked it: this problem is only a problem from the motor on the extruder - he stucks sometimes coincidentally. i can´t spend time and money to try 20 prints to get out 1 good item.

what kind of problem is it ? otherwise i must return it to Geeetech (buyed by Amazon).

Thank you!

Could you upload the setting of your printer?
The filament block in the nozzle:
1.Heating the temp of nozzle up to 210C
2.Remove the Teflon cube and then clean it with the ejector
3.Check the retraction distance/speed of your setting
Retraction distance:2.5~4mm
Retraction speed:40mm/s~50mm/s
4.Set correct temp of the nozzle
PLA:190~210C
5.Increase the voltage of A4988(extruder motor driver board)-------Blue type:0.6~0.9V

Hello! Thanky for your reply!

The Settings (see attached Pictures)

1. Heating is anytime 210C - The EasyPrint can set it coincidentally to 175C and then i can emergency stop :(
2. Remove the Teflon Cube - What is that ?
3. The retraction speed is an mystery: the gear on the filament-Input (i don´t know how it names) stucks and the filament came not smooth in the printer. it sounds "knuggling" and the filament springs back some mm and so on while printing.
4. the Temp of the Noozle is already set by 1. (or not) ?
5. i don´t want to disassembly the printer and change any parts of it. i´m user and no engineer.

Damn... my first reply was lost in this forum... okay again:

my settings : see the attachments. Can you identify any problems equal to my problems ?

1.Heating the temp of nozzle up to 210C
2.Remove the Teflon cube and then clean it with the ejector
3.Check the retraction distance/speed of your setting
Retraction distance:2.5~4mm
Retraction speed:40mm/s~50mm/s
4.Set correct temp of the nozzle
PLA:190~210C
5.Increase the voltage of A4988(extruder motor driver board)-------Blue type:0.6~0.9V

1. yes every time i heat to 210C
2. what is the Teflon Cube
3 & 4 this parameters are already in the settings of Easy Print 3D !?!?!
5. i will check it later. why can´t it do it while construction / Quality-Check ? i´m the co-producer ? - No i think ;(

thank you

Hello!

The Tube is okay (clear and well formed). Please can you take a look of my EasyPrint3D Settings ? I will know that the settings perfect!

btw: Firmware-Updates:
The next fault on this Printer is the different display of FW-Version. EasyPrint3D tells a other FW-Version as i can see on the LCD Info. Geeetech´s FW-Tools also unable to see whats on.

This bug exists in Easyprint3d and we will fix it in the next version
You can refer the firmware version on the LCD

Settings okay.

Wich type of filament and manufacturer you are using?
Geeetech 1.75mm PLA filament?

It is not good to use the cheapest filament, because the quality is low and the diameter tolerance bad.
