RE: Example of Extruder Motor Eating Filament
Ed,
I think it may have been the slightly more than 2mm bulge issue. The filament is wider and bent where it looks whitish in the photo, but to show the semi-circle and sawtooth pattern, I had to compromise with the photo. I think it got stuck, stripped, and broke, eventually ran out of plastic below the break, but by then the semicircular cut and bend prevented advancing the filament. Or something like that. I don't know why a 9" section literally just fell away from the roll, there was not pressure on it at all, it just came apart in my hand while I was putting the roll away.

During this time, the printer will not be laying down plastic. The clicking will eventually go way, when the motor cuts a smooth semi-circle from the filament. |
