Filament needs unloaded and reloaded after all prints

Hi,

After a print is complete my filament needs to be unloaded and reloaded. The filament will actually be loose, and you can pull it out from the tension idler. Could this be the entire hotend assembly, or should I start with replacing the thermister?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Re: Filament needs unloaded and reloaded after all prints

post your printer settings custom gcode end code. Sounds as though you have an unload instruction in the code.

That's the end of your file, not the end gcode from slic3r but the lines I have quoted cause an awful lot of extruder movement. Those instructions tell the extruder to back out a total of 92mm of filament. It will back out until the drive gear loses grip and then sit loose. Any further extruder move requests will have nothing to work with.

If you investigate where the quoted commands are generated from and eliminate that, your problem should be solved.

Happy printing.

Thanks for looking through my gcode.
I ended up reinstalling slic3r and that seems to have solved my problems!
Thanks for your time! 😀
