Topic: Da Vinci 1.0 clicking after a couple lines

I have the same problem with extruder clicking like others, but mine Da Vinci 1.0 starts clicking after a couple lines of printing. I think its clicking only with the not original ABS-Filaments, because before I updated the printer, i printed with all my filaments and it worked. Someone have a answer for me? I tried all things i found in the Internet: Cleaning the extruder, i checked the filament spool its doesn't stuck anywhere, checking the temperatur of the extruder while its printing and i pulled the bed away from the extruder while it was clicking, but anything will help.

Maybe your stepper motor is running too hot and failing.

Re: Da Vinci 1.0 clicking after a couple lines

I have the davinci 1.0 that was doing the same thing clicking around the first couple lines and would not lay down filament .What i found the problem to be was the heatbed was to close to the extruder.How i found this out was i started a print and when it first started to print with no filament coming out i pressed down a little on the very front center edge where the knob is and imeadiately the layer began printing with no noise when i took the pressure off clicking came back.I adjusted the bed down a little bit and re calibrated no more clicking hope this helps.

XYZ filament is specially formulated to melt at a much lower than normal temp. For non XyZ you need to raise your temp to 220 or more. Also make sure your bed is not too close to the nozzle.
