Keeps clogging, filament pulls out faster than stepper motor pushes
Hey guys, My Hictop 3DP12 i3 Prusa was working great for several months, and I've enjoyed it. Just for a week now, it continues to jam after 10-30 minutes into a print.

Came back to a printer that won't turn on
Hi guys, I have a HIC Prusa i3 3DP-12. This is my first time working with a 3d printer, and it's fun! After assembly, I printed 2 parts with no problem and was very pleased with the quality. However, the 3rd part was estimated to take 5 hours, so I started it and left it. I could have sworn I heard ...
