Topic: can't even do first print - not extruding
trying to feed in the new filament for a first print,
just got the printer out of the box, and there's still a tiny scrap of old filament in the printer,
when i feed the new filament in as per the instructions, the wheels grind against the new filament (it's pushed so it looks like 2 strands the old and new are trying to feed into the heating unit,
but the plastic is not exiting the head at the right rate...
there is a slow "drip" (for lack of a better term) of plastic coming from the head, not at a notable rate (in the length of typing this email, maybe 3mm has extruded by itself)
when i try to start a print, the head moves, but no plastic is extruded...
