Cr-10 extrusion issue

Post by darkrogue »

hello all
I'm hoping that this will be an easy issue that I'm just not understanding

So I've had my printer for about 3 months. In this time I've had no issues. suddenly my printer is acting odd. it will run through the motions of printing but it wont extrude any pla. I thought maybe the hot end was bad or maybe the gears needed replacing. I replaced every part I can think of and still the same garbage happens. I did notice though that on one of my prints, the printer won't extrude only on the first layer, then suddenly, it just springs to life and everything functions normally. I'm at my wits end. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it. please help!!

If it does not extrude on the first layer then it could be your nozzle is too close to the heated bed.

It is really hard to diagnose with out visual effects, could you upload a photo or a short video to a share like google drive and post a link here for us to examine.
