This allows you to see what’s happening inside the print jet and be able to diagnose with less guess work. If these solutions don’t work, taking off the cover is a good next step. This could be caused by a buildup of filament on the gear itself or a misalignment of the fly wheel and gear. You may need to cut off a section if it has been stripped. Pull the filament out and try to insert it again.
If there’s an issue with the gear slipping, you’ll see the filament stutter each time you hear the click. Listen for a clicking sound inside the print head cover.This will provide a good visual reference point. If you can’t tell if the filament is moving, mark it just above the cover hole with a bend in the line, fingernail, or permanent marker. Once inside, the filament should stay firmly lodged if you pull on it. You should feel it pulling the filament down a bit at a time. When you are in the Load Cartridge setup, make sure the gear is grabbing the filament as you feed it into the top of the print head.If you don’t have the wire, you can use a paper clip or similar sized shaft. If there is material left inside, it should press out of the nozzle. While the print head is heating up, use the metal stick included in your Cube’s box to press through any residual plastic that might be stuck inside. The screen will ask if there is filament in the head. Second: Go to the Setup Screen > Change Cartridge.First, you may want to watch the official Cubify video tutorial found here.So take a deep breath (or two) and count to 100.įor starters, here is a sneak peek under the hood of the Cube: If you get impatient, bits of liquid filament remain in the tube and prevent the filament from moving naturally. One of the best pieces of advice you can get about solving your flow errors is to not rush ahead of the Cube on the loading cartridge process. Why save the best for last? This author has learned from experience that patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to 3D printing. This troubleshooting guide will help you get up and running again in no time. If you have recently read those dreaded words: “Filament Flow Fail” on your Cube’s digital screen, don’t despair.
