My K1 Max prints one or two layers then stops printing plastic however the nozzle continues moving as though it was still printing but nothing is coming out of the nozzle. I have extruded the nozzle and material does come out. The nozzle and printing head continue moving and rising as though it was printing successive layers. What is the problem I am having and how do I fix it? Every print job I do I cannot get past two layers. I have a new copper alloy nozzle installed.
If it extrudes then it is not likely a plugged nozzle. Bad code maybe. Try a different slicer and see if that works…
I am using Orca slicer.
What material and temperature are you using to print?
Try cura and see if it makes a difference.
Hello, I would recommend you to use the original Creality slicer to see if the error is in the slicer or in the printer. Your problem is very similar to a misconfiguration of the slicer.
The slicer failing is very exotic.
If you remove the filament and look at the end when it was in the printer is there a notch in it where it failed to advance?
When I pulled out the filament there was a squeezed-looking short length. I think a piece got stuck inside abpve the nozzle but below the gears. I used the pin to try and see if the hole was clear and the pin would not go through.
I have to buy a small torch to heat up the pin and melt the piece inside out
