all i did was dip the end of the filament in mineral oil before putting it in, it worked like a dream with no problems since!!!

Carefully get out the main board, making sure you dont remove any wires. Put a fan over the mainboard, concentrating on the place where extruder driver is.


DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!!!! (for me it worked anyway).

apparently replacing that helped some people out , but I haven't got To it yet

i was using ABS and my extruder temp was 230*  I dont think this is necessary because it is the wheel not the temp


The ticking as you describe is a symptom of the feed motor slipping due to the filament being jammed for some reason. Either you have a clog, your temp is too low, or you are too close to your bed. As for the wheel the moving up that is just a by product of the first problem. Finding the reason for the initial clicks should be your first course of action.

I have had my press for about a half year.  i am trying to make some things for work and such but I can't.  I can't because the little wheel that pushes the filament into the actual small extruder will start to make a loud and rapid clicking sound.  tic-tic-tic-tic-tic!  After about 10 seconds of ticking the wheel will move itself up and stop filament movement.  I would Appreciate it if someone could tell me what I could do to stop the wheel from moving and or just have a solution.  Thanks.
