MEcreator 2 extruder is clicking

Post by Fred-D » Mon Jan 02, 2017 5:42 am

Hi,

I got my Mecreator 2 printer on the 2nd of December and once I solved some problems, I got my MK8 feeder which was clicking.

1/ I searched the Net and found that I had to increase the stepper voltage, I did it, still clicking.

2/ I also found that the feeder tension was too weak. I tried several little tings not nothing really worked.

3/ I ordered a metalic feeder. I got it but the wrong side... I'm trying to get it exchanged (or refund) but the sales guy doesn't answer anymore.

4/ I finally managed to print one ( I was standing more than 2 hours beside the printer to push the filament in it ) and adapted it to the printer :

Can I reasonably expect to get an answer for the metalic feeder?

Thanks for any reaction and/or answer

FRED

Hi,Fred
I guess it's the feeder that has no sufficient force to feed the filament through...
BTW,where did you get the metal feeder?The official website of Geeetech?

Hi Bang,

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I got it from the official website. Unfortunately, I got a left one which seems not being compatible with the Mecreator 2.

I'm in touch with a salesman and I'm going to ask for a tech contact.

To be continued...
