Strange machine behaviour... No filament coming

Please, if you'd help me! 

I inspected the printer for heat creep, nozzle is open, everthings fine:

Exporting from PSlicer, the printjob doesn't give filament at all while printing, BUT - also, the filament gears are clicking!?

Starting another printjob from the sd/same material, filament extrudes and all is fine...

I also resliced the job, copied on sd, started again. All same as described above.

Wtf? Please help - this is too weird!

RE:

Please, I wasn't able to get aware of it until now. 

I rechecked everything - still the same. I redesigned my settings for filament and printer  but nothing worked so far. 

Is it that my mk3s asks for upgrade to 3.10? Please, don't tell me yes though - I'm pretty annoyed this has to be done over the Internet. My laptop and printer stands in the basement, without any Internet connection and I'm not wanting to link up my computer to the net...

Check you are slicing for the correct filament. 

Cheerio,

Cheerio,

I would agree to check filament type and temperature of the nozzle.

Do other print jobs print properly, particularly the pre-sliced samples that came with your printer?

If you manually preheat the nozzle and extrude filament via the knob on the front panel, does molten filament come out, or does it just click?

Guys, thanks for answering! 

I checked up trice again meanwhile. The filament and chosen temperature dedicated to the heat cardridge is right!

277 degrees to the job and all should be good. The material runs at given 265 for sure.... 

=/

I preheat to 275, wait then, move the extruder and filament runs, start the print job... and: nothings coming out from the nozzle

Please... How can it be? 

The nozzle is free, job is starting. It makes that one glob on the left front side perfectly, after that nothing spills out no more..?

The gears jumping like crazy. But testing heat and temp on settings>axis, extruder all seems fine. 

? Thank you all?

Still, 

test extruding by "move axis" always works?? 

I really can't understand the logic behind this

Solved. 

For no reason the bed had to be zeroed again.

Seem like the nozzle was too flat down the bed ysi nothing could spill out...

possible?

277 degrees

This is very hot, what filament are you using?

Possible but unlikely.  Have you recently changed the nozzle or altered the hot-end?

Please save your project as a .3mf [ file menu ], zip the file and post it here so we can check your settings.

Cheerio,

Ok, will do.... 

(preheat nozzle and test is flawless)

 

In the meantime...
