    I'm a newbie so please treat me like I'm dumb. :) I was having some jams. Got them cleared finally. Now the Robo heats up, does the auto leveling and the print head moves all around like it is working, but no filament is coming out. If I stop the print and raise the print head, I can turn the knob and it does extrude. Suggestions?

    If you center it in the bed, heat it up and then using the software tell it to extrude, does it?

    Are there any errors in the print console for whatever software you are using?

    So, any errors from the print console (where that is depends on your software -- I can't tell you how to do it with MatterControl)?

    I have been using Matter Control. Is there a free alternative that is better? I have been on disability and just got an extension denied so money is tight. Which is why I can't go too wild on a new extruder
