It happened on a ABS that I used for a while (at 200). The printer was working very well, but around two weeks ago did this. I thought clog then wrecked the old extruder core when repairing it. Got new  extruder yesterday, and it did as displayed in image straight away. After clean, I got one print (small print) before it did this again. Once heated and the old ABS is backed out, clipped and put back in, I get it to extrude easily then does this again as soon as first or second layer is put down.

Did it do this after successfully printing with that same filament or had you just changed the filament? It does look like too high of extruder temp though...

Sir,
There is a small set screw on the side of the motor. You should be able to turn this. This may help, but you have our full support if it does not. In this case, we'd be more than happy to replace the parts that need replacement. Now, I did want to mention that was a little worried about your filament. This does not appear to be Solidoodle filament, and from the looks of it, it is quite dirty. This could cause a clog.

Tell me more about your situation and we shall move on from there.

Regards,
John

Give that updated dolphins logo another try I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Thanks I have been able to do a few prints. i had a good one going last night aand wentt o bed at some point power went out (sigh it was about half way sigh and it was looking so good

Check your computer settings to make sure you have sleep and power saver turned off.  Set up a profile for always on for printing.

The loose extruder drive gear setscrew would have been pretty much the last thing I would have expected yikes

The set screw, or grub screw, for the extruder is loose. It is the small screw in the silver pulley on the extruder motor shaft. You will need a small allen wrench to tighten it, and may need to disassemble the acrylic jigsaw to do so.

thats what i thought but i wasn't sure how to fix it i only kind of figured out what was happening after i marked the shaft and the sproket or whatever the hell its called
