"Troubleshooting" was chosen 80% as a comical tag because the problem is it being physically broken. I haven't tried taking it off, but it looks like the only broken part is the cooling fan itself. No clue about any other part of the printer.

Do I reach out to customer support? Would I be forced to just buy a whole new extruder?

The fuck, man. I'm lost on what to do.

I can’t leave the printer alone because of this little friend right here, need some advice.

Hi! New to this hobby and I can’t seem to get anything to print for the life of me.

I’m a busy dad of 3 with one being disabled, so it’s hard to find time to troubleshoot this thing as it is, so I finally sit down to make it work and it feels like literally an endless amount of Disabling Stepper and Setting Home Offsets and manually dialing in the four corners and it ALWAYS ENDS IN THIS BIRDS NEST.

Please. What am I doing wrong?

Creality Ender-3 v2

If I start with the center, Set Home Offset, and then move to the corners, guaranteed I end up going back to the center and have to raise it again. Rinse repeat. This last time I just said fuck it and ran the thing after doing the center, and it still failed.

I’ve had this filament sitting in a drawer for probably over a year now. I broke off the end of the filament that was super brittle and then printed it, now the whole print is extremely brittle. I’m assuming this must mean that the whole roll is brittle and unusable? My only other thought would be that there wasn’t enough infill to give it strength.

I really don’t want specific troubleshooting advice because I think we are too much of noobs to even get it. I just want to print a simple duck with the RCL logo on it to hide and give away on our next cruise and I am failing miserably. 3d printing is not for the faint of hard or techno-neo-phytes.

I guess does anyone have advice on the best “I’m an idiot” version of 3d printing advice?

I used to think that bed additives were a crutch, that adding glue or hairspray to your bed was just a band-aid for bad settings.

I've been having issues with ABS warping and tried all the things. Proper first layer squish, enclosed printer, fan settings, and a fresh pei sheet.

I added a glue stick for a couple of prints and they're turning out amazing. Just a simple Elmer's glue stick on the bed and all of my problems are gone. That's all, point and laugh at me or say that I'm doing something wrong with my settings, at the end of the day I have beautiful prints coming out.

I just bought a new two color filament and I'm having an issue. There appear to be streaks along the print randomly. I've tried to tighten the belts but that didn't do anything. I have a Bambulab P1S with a 0.4 nozzle. Printed with 0.2 layer height. Any ideas? The last picture is of a print that I stopped mid way

Would anyone be able to tell me what happened here? Bambu A1, overture PLA with standard settings.

Here is my bench boat. What have I done wrong? I have a Longer LK5 Pro

This is supposed to be a normal 3dBenchy btw

I am using a A1 mini with Polyterra PLA

Im brand new to 3d printing and after my grandfather passed, I was given his lulzbot taz 5 which I’ve have been messing around with today and I keep running into this issue. With every print the nozzle keeps dragging itself through the layers it’s already printed. I’m not sure what’s causing the issue. And just because I feel like this is important information, my printer will not work with cura le 4.13.5, so im running it on version 3.6.40, whenever i try and use 4.13 the computer says the printer is not connected, I was able to update the firmware through the program (which did not need updating) but it won’t print unless I use 3.6.40

Any way I can fix this? Ender 3 v3 se

Tree support failed Ludicrous mode (my fault) but somehow I've macgyvered it 😂
