Filament is not passing extruded (prusa mini)
Just finished assembling my new Prussa mini, it’s my first 3D printer and I was sad to figure out that while trying to print my first object filament would not get past the extruder, aka it’s not getting sucked up (I guess is the term) does anyone know how to fix it? I’ve tried many things it’s not blocked and still makes it through to the extruder then it fails.
Best Answer by René:
Did you cut the end of the filament at an angle?
When loading the filament you have to apply pressure until you notice that the filament is being pulled in.
If necessary, also check whether the extruder idler is correctly adjusted according to step 44 of the assembly manual.

Do you have Filament Sensor installed?
