printer is retracting a lot
in UltiMaker Cura
Posted
Hello,
I am using:
Anycubic I3 Mega
Cura 15.05.6
PLA
My printer has started retracting a lot. I went into Cure / Info/Filament to run just the extruder and it does the same thing.
It will run forward a little but not extrude anything /or very little then retract.
I have:
* unplugged the unit.
* reset the unit.
* switched to different stl files
* changed settings up and down in Cura
