Nothing Works

I bought what I thought was the best printer on the Market but can't get it to work . All test are right ,cal all seem to be right also .The filament won't stick to the table .When it makes the first pass close to the end it sticks great but the sig sag passes won't stick. also it appears as tho the extruder is putting out less filament as it moves . but when I load filament the flow looks great .I'm not computer savey so I hope someone can help Me.

Re: Nothing Works

Those two posting Jeff pointed you to are good.

I am guessing you have the tension on your extruder screws (springs) too tight, which is deforming the filament and causing it to jam in the extruder. Make sure they are set correctly. The spring should be barely engaged. This is much looser than is intuitive to most people.

And you did purchase one of the best printers on the market, especially at the price point. If you follow these instructions Jeff pointed you to, you will overcome the learning curve and be very happy with the printer.

Any advices given are offered in good faith. It is your responsibility to ensure that by following my advice you do not suffer or cause injury, damage or loss. If you solve your problem, please post the solution…
