Prusa MK2 MM - Extruder 2 did not work #34

Closed NitramLegov closed 6 years ago

NitramLegov commented 6 years ago

For whatever reason, the Extruder 2 did not print at all this morning. This should be tested further.

NitramLegov commented 6 years ago

There is a written notice on the printer that filament different than the prusa original seems to be cloaking the extruder. Does anybody know the Details here? When I printed, I was using UnicoFill Filament for all extruders. Extruder 1 (with red filament) worked perfectly fine, Extruder 2 (with yellow filament I think) did not extrude at all.

I printed something during the last BBQ event with extruder 1+2 and it seemed to work fine. The issue with stiffer filament could be harder to fix. Maybe it helps to dry the filament in the oven (50-60°C) to make it a bit more flexible.

Im closing this for now until the problem is reproducible.

Worth noting: I had to recalibrate the printer and readjust the pinda probe before printing, because it was way off.
