Gah. Serves me right for not calibrating carefully… Sadly, the filament switch-over didn’t go right. :frowning:

that sucks!

What machine is that

4

I can’t see what’s wrong

5

@Daniel_Fielding He’s out of plastic, but the model isn’t finished.

6

pause + home + swap filament (if you have it) + resume = win (assuming you did not use relative commands for the gcode)

7

Lcd have option in tune to change filament

8

Well, you have a 3Doodler…

@Woody_Williams I caught that too, funny. I gotta know myself, what printer is this?

10

Yeah, I’m still getting familiarized with this Ideaprinter F100L. I just started it and let it keep running without looking at it, as I’m still “playing around” to get familiar with it.

Good point about the 3Doodler! :slight_smile:

I tried to manually switch out the filament, so I untensioned the drive gear – but when I tensioned it back on after the swap, I didn’t tension it back correctly, so the filament slipped and misfed.

@Joseph_Chiu , gotcha, and welcome to the game. We’ve all been there and done that. Hopefully you’ll learn from mistakes, sharpen your troubleshooting-skills and share your adventures.

Thanks! Every printer is a whole new experience!

13

So true!

14

Hmmm that hurts … Been there. Still a nice print!

A 3D printer-ers prayer, “May your print run out before your filament does”

16

Thanks! That’s a nice mantra, too. :slight_smile:

thats one big printer! awesome.
