After searching and combing through this forum for the issue I cannot seem to find a solution
So what's happening is my printer decides it no longer wants to extrude filament mid print. I have tried this on 2 different files and both have the same result. At first I thought it was a blocked nozzle but I swapped for a new one and it was doing the same thing, I even stripped the extruded head to see if it was the coupler but that looks fine. From what I can see it seems to be an issue with the feeder mechanism, I have noticed it's been making some clicking noises on the last print it failed on and no matter how much I loosen or tighten the feeder screw it just doesn't want to comply.
So after taking off the feeder unit I did notice the cog on the motor shaft was a lot further back and not engaging on the feeder wheel, I ended up pulling this forwards to help mesh together and this seemed to have solved the issue....until 3 hours into a print and what I find is the head moving to lay down filament and a big ol' space of nothing it's printing on! Looks like the filament stopped extruding 2 hours in! And now the motor for the feeder turns....but the feeder itself isn't at all, I suspect the gears aren't meshing for some reason.
So I'm lost! Hoping you guys could shed some light on this issue. I've had the printer for 5 months and this is my first major issue.
