[New unit won't auto feed filament unless I push "up" on the feeder lever]

Hi @KarenB, perhaps it would help if you specify what type of 3D printer it is. I see you have labeled it as UM2, but I am pretty sure that is not an Ultimaker 2.. 

 

Thanks, 

Blockage removed. This problem fixed. Only have 1 to 2 more. How is your hair not gray? These printers are frustrating to say the least.

Thanks for your help.

No, this is a Monoprice Ultimate 2. 

 

I think I'm going to box it up and send it back to them. After first 5 prints (longest being almost 6 hours) I haven't been able to get this darn thing to print at all. 

 What is a good and simple printer to use. I paid $549 for this thing.

I removed the extruder. I have a rather large clog. Any tips? I can't push it through.  

I'm going to heat the tip up and let it sit for a moment. Any ideas past this, will be great. I know about the atomic pull, but have to get nozzle hot enough to loosen clog.

I'm a beginner! No wait, I need help. LOL

I try to load a "plug in" and the base plate does not go all the way up to the nozzle. It ends up just going willie nillie on me.

 

I bought this printer so I could make masks for family, not having any luck when I load the file. I've tried 4 times with same result. 

 

Thanks for any help. Oh, please remember, I am learning. Did I say I received this machine......yesterday.
