Clicking - after an hour
Hello - about an hour into a print, clicking begins. The filament isn't going through any more.
As it was going through ok, I don't want to alter any tension as I thought this not be required.
There is no clogging etc, as the next print, as long as it is <1hour, is fine.
Suggestions please?
Many thanks
RE:
You didn't say what model of printer you have. I have and i3 MK3s+, so here's what I do.
Open the door to the extruder gear (on the right side of the extruder) and see if the gear is full of filament. Probably need to clean it. "After an hour" may indicating that it is building up; when the gears get full, nothing is gripping the filament to move it. There's a screw head opposite of the door that tightens the gear against the filament. May want to check that too and maybe tighten it just a little.
