I also believe the post has a Prefix drop down that has General, Help, and Solved as options.

I emailed support, and they're going to send me a new set of laser cut parts to rebuild the extruding head.

It wasn't a clogged hot end, but that helped me find the problem. Thanks, guys!

Usually it is the overtemp protection getting triggered, this will show up in the log... if this is the case then you probably need to run the autotune for the PID's on the extruder temp controller

Sometimes it is a bed connection to the thermistor on the hotend either in the IDC connectors or at the crimp to the actual thermistor.

Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it?

Thanks,
