Re: Filament not extruding

If you're talking about your Ezstruder drive wheel? You've probably ground a crescent shape into the filament and it's not grabbing anymore. Heat the hotend and pull the filament out to check. If it has, cut that part off and re-insert the filament. Clean the knurls in the drive wheel, (thoroughly ...

Filament not extruding

Hello! I now have a new problem, my filament "wheel" (the white wheel on the filament guide) does not push the filament anymore. The wheel just spins and does not push the filament anymore. Can you please tell me how to fix this issue.

Thanks!

Re: Right side of print not printing

let me take a moment to jump in on this. 1. My Orion arrived from the factory, off-level about as far as yours. And yes, i bought a "turn-key" unit.. (And I paid 20% more than you, had it shipped overnight Fedex, and it arrived with some damaged parts).. SO I understand your frustration. BUT ...

Re: Right side of print not printing

Thanks for the info, yes there was some shipping damage. One of the filament guides was broken off. Jim is right, they should be getting back to you soon. Please don't try to fix anything until you hear from them, you will just make things worse. There is no calibration procedure written for the ...

Re: Right side of print not printing

Is the endstop that fell out, on the tower that lines up with the lowest part of the print? It needs a tower calibration. It's on the card that came with the printer. It looks as if the tower cap has been driven down on the tower. You might want to raise it some before you do a tower calibration ...

Re: Odd Inconsistent Z level on Rostock

Well, you were in the right ball park for sure. When I started looking at the belts it became pretty obvious that they had loosened up over time, I guess that was one maintenance step I missed. I tightened the belts and the z level issues are fixed (though now I need to recalibrate the towers again ...

Hey Guys,

So I still have my other issue going on but I can still print. I am noticing all of my prints there is some separation of the layers (see pic). Can you tell me how to fix this?

Thanks!

Re: Right side of print not printing

As you can see in the pictures if I let the print keep going there is a noticeable slant in the print. It appears something is not level, sorry for the crappy image quality I took them with my iPhone.

Re: Right side of print not printing

One of the endstops did fall out during shipment but I fixed that before I tried to print anything. I do not have a square so I cannot see if the arms are square to the bed. Just checking out the printer nothing appears to be loose anywhere.

Hello! So I just got my Orion Delta printer from UPS today! I am trying to get my first print going but I am having an issue. As you can see in the video (sorry for the orientation) the left side of the print prints great but the right side of the print does not print. It is like the bed is not ...
