Not sticking. Bed looks clean. Try making z adjustment. Seems to be still to far from bed. Just in case make sure that bed is clean.

I’m assuming that you have your Pinda prove correctly adjusted using the zip tie method

Re: Cant print anything

Have you tried to print the gcodes provided on the SD card?
Your first layer in the video IS to high. Live adjust Z until you can't barely see the plastic extruded. Then raise a little bit and see the difference.

Re: Cant print anything

Certainly looks like you are not low enough with live-z.

Try to lover that some more, more negative.

Re: Cant print anything

looks like a halfjammed extruder if thats a real thing
are you sure the extrudergear is tight enough?
try extruding by moving the e-axis by hand (in the menu "move axis") and try to pinch the filament
with your finger really hard afaik it should be able to overcome the resistance
i think the z-height is ok since the layer looks ok where it DID extrude but better pictures might help

Re: Cant print anything

That seems like a silly question... if your assembly is wrong, don't expect things to print properly.

Re: Cant print anything

No offence hugo, but if this screw gets loose, you did the assembly wrong! In this case nothing we can say will help you.
I would suggest you rebuild your extruder completely new. Take it apart and put it together. Make sure everything is EXACTLY by the guidelines.

No worries. This is how many of us are learning our loved 3d printer ....

If the screw loosens, you might want to check these nuts 😮
