Topic: Extrusion problems

So my Davinci Jr. is only printing on half of the table. I followed the cleaning instructions and cleared a blockage yet it still only prints on the side closest to the filament spool. on the far half of the table it only leaves a heat impression on the table but no filament. and the driver clicks repeatedly how do I fix this?

Re: Extrusion problems

sounds like you need to level the table.

Tin Falcon was 100%. Here is how I took care of that problem on my JR. There should already be a threaded hole o n the right side of the extruder support bar. I believe it is 4 or 5mm, check to make sure. Use the paper trick to adjust the Z axis. See attached for complete fix.

Re: Extrusion problems

Mr Clown, that is a great solution.  Do you find that the adjustment bolt loosens over time form the vibration?  The single wing nut hold it well?

The wing nut seems to hold it just fine.
