Unknown issue printing treefrog that came with the printer
Hi,
I'm pretty new to 3d printing so I am not too good at troubleshooting yet. I checked out the print quality troubleshooting page but none of the pictures looks similar. Does anyone know what happened to this print? I tried it twice and it happened both times. I talking about the rough condition of its back. It happened on the underside as well. To me it looks like its not putting the outer layer around the filling but I don't know if that's really the case.
Thank you for your help,
Karl

I agree, it looks like most the perimeters are not printed. This points to some problem with extrusion, like a clogged nozzle or something to do with retraction. Does this happen on all models?

I tried to print buddy just now and it did really good until it got to the top of his head. And then it started making a weird clicking noise about every 3-5 seconds. and the top of the head is completely missing. Its definently a jam or feeder issue at least with this build. When I try to load filliment it make a god awful racket and doesn't feed any more in. I can see the gear turning through the window but nothing is going in or coming out.

Then you need to get rid of the jam. And ideally do a cold pull afterwards to make sure everything is clean and free of debris.

I was able to unload and then reload the filament but I'll try the cold pull. I found the steps on how to do it. Thanks for the advice.
