The sooner you call, the faster you can jam in a good way. These printers have new issues that arise all the time. Call the manufacturer when you need help (don't wait). When we printed something large, I had the white tube too short the tension pulled the nozzle off and stopped the print job. On my MakerBot, a white tube takes the filament from the spool at the back to the nozzle. Make sure the feeder tube is long enough. Find a video about loading the filament properly.Īfter an hour of frustration with the written directions, I watched a video and did it perfectly. Here's some advice learned during my first year with a 3D printer. (Thus, the nickname.) MakerBot sent me a new nozzle, and since January, we've been jammin' in amazing new ways. It took me three months to figure out a nozzle problem - I could print items, but he would jam and smoke all the time. That's what I named my 3D printer, a Makerbot 3D Mini, which I got in September. I will admit that "Bob Marley" and I had a rocky relationship.
