Hello,
We have spent a good bit of time leveling the bed, and we feel that we have gotten it to a point where we are comfortable with it. However, during our recent prints, we have had issues with the filament not flowing at a consistent rate. At some points it will come out slower, almost in a dashed line/dribble on the first layer, then on the other half of the first layer it will be perfectly fine. It seems to change randomly, not much of a pattern as far as location.
When it does work well on the first layer, our extruder jams up almost every single time after a few layers. It looks as though the head of the extruder makes contact with the previous layer and jams itself up. We have tried multiple set-ups with different extrusion multipliers, temperatures, speeds, layer thicknesses, etc. etc. and we keep running into this issue.
We are currently printing with 1.75mm Hatchbox PLA on the Gcreate Maxx 1.5+.
Any assistance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Anthony
