Hello Ultimaker Forum,
I hope you can help me, I have an Ultimaker 2+ with 2300 print hours. Recently i replaced a fan and when i tried to do a print there is no material coming out of the nozzle. The feeder in the back grinds in the material pushing no material forward.
But was i found is strange, I load the PLA material in the ultimaker, no problem. At the end of loading the PLA there is also a stream of PLA coming out of the nozzle and you see the feeder pushing the material trough the bowden tube so that seems to be working fine.
But when i try to test print something there is no material coming out of the nozzle. You also do not see the PLA moving through the bowden tube, when i look at the feeder i see the feeder turning but the material not moving, so it grinds in the material leaving a mark like this.
What could i do to fix this, the strange thing is that feeder is turning normally in the material during inserting the material. Feeder is on middle tension and i already tried cleaning the nozzle with the atomic method.
I really hope you can help me, i searched on the internet but the only thing I can find is clean the nozzle and adjust the feeder tension. I also don't think it could be the TFM coupler because there is material coming out.
what do you think could be a solution?
Thanks in advance!
