Troubleshooting Video Guides (Bed Leveling, Jams/Clogs)

I couldn't think of any other issues with bed leveling that didn't involve the firmware/g-code to put into the video. If you are having any minor problems with auto leveling watch the video below. In the video I explain a way to know which rod to turn which way. This is an illustration of the negative to positive = CCW and CW thing.

 

Great video. I guess I won't need to discuss this as much in the one I've been working on

 

I could be wrong on a few of the points I make, but I hope this makes it easier to diagnose jams/clogs

 

Great videos man. Makes me feel like I'm slacking big time doing my troubleshooting vids. Keep up the good work.

 

Marquis is a very big help. I've learned more from his videos than I have from the entire forum.

 

Thanks for the great videos! It this kind of support that made it easy to buy a robo3d print. Thanks again, and please keep up the great work.

very helpful. Thanks!

 

I am having print issues - the bed levels itself, but then when it starts printing, it doesn't extrude any filament. Everything is clean, I can extrude material all day manually - but when I try to print something, I get no filament. I've only printed 5 things with this printer so far and this didn't happen before. What can I do?

 

If you are hearing clicking from the filament your nozzle might be too close to the bed. Increase your z offset (should be able to find a thread in the forum)

 

Yes, I've been trying that - I'll keep trying and let you know Thank you!!

 

I have gone all the way up to a Z offset of -1.2 to no avail. What video file format is supported here? It won't let me post an mp4.....

 

I would upload a video to YouTube, and link it here

 

I figured it out, well, not sure if I did or I just got lucky I had copied a code from a thread and I think that's what was giving me problems, because when I went back to the original G-code and brought the z offset up to -1.2, it printed like a charm. But to be honest, that's what I was doing to start with when this first happened.......so I have no real idea what went wrong

 

Did not know that. I'll try to play with some -tv value later for my z offset.

 

Just go my printer and ran into the issue of not being able to home the z-axis.
Figured out it was a switch problem, but could not figure out that it is a simple twist of the rod to adjust it to the correct place.
This video help tremendously, thanks!

 

okay so my printer was just level and everything and it was print got down with that print the the frist 3 leveling process it was fine but it got to the middle of the bed and it will just keep rising up form there
