Filament run-out

Post by BobaLives » Wed Oct 02, 2019 7:41 am

I'm in the middle of a print and using up couple rolls with only little bit of filament left and luckily I went and checked on the print and paused it as the end of the filament was passed the runout and almost thought the extruder wheel... didn't beep or stop when past the run-out switch... anyone else have that problem? What do I need to fix or check to make sure it doesn't happen again?

Use more turns to tight filament lever in extruder driver.

Did you hear anytime step loss in extruder with clogged tip? I think that no. Like shoot from printer. If not, it is not tighted correctly - except geared drivers like Titan of course, they are like saw already.

TIP: tight all screws and wheels (except right side of Z axis) and re-align frame while assembly. And silence it.

I thought the printer was suppose to pause and beep when the filament end went past the filament run-out...

I know this sounds like a simple question,But do you have the filament run out sensor enabled ?
