Topic: Trouble with new Printer

I brought a 1.0AiO 3 weeks ago.

Everything was printing fine.

Now nothing seems to want to print.

It goes through the printing motions but no object is made.

I cleaned the printer head and unloaded the cartridge and reloaded it and filament was coming through fine.

So why is it not printing?

Manually level your bed per the manual method here on the forums at the top of the XYZ section.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Do I need to get the auto calibrate right first as it keeps coming up with errors or can I just ignore that from now on and just go with the manual method?

Well it seems to be printing now...

*fingers crossed*

Thanks for the help.

Boy is the manual method easier!

Think also the little sensor was covered in a layer of plastic.

for me the manual method worked best and was easy to do. the auto calibrate for the da vinci sucked sad
