your patience and persistance is remarkable
Man you saved my day. Got my creality 1 week ago and nothing came out.... (after printing a few objects) I fixed it thanks to you.
Loving the CR10 videos, just ordered mine, got the long weeks wait now! Watching your videos as revision for when I get mine haha. Keep up the awesome work!
CwazyCouple thanks
I have to tell you, this video helped me tons. Maybe this isn't the 100% correct way to clean out a clog, but it showed me how to take everything apart and troubleshoot the whole process.
Happy to help bud.
Thanks for the vid - I was at my wits end and this helped me a lot. Tried everything I could find from various forums, cold pull didn't work at all, hot-hot kind of worked. Eventually removed the nozzle and pushed out a solid mass that was clogging everything; strange as I only use PLA. Also dismantled the entire hot end and cleaned it out with acetone, brass wire brush and earbuds; look brand new again - re-assembled and everything works perfectly again!
Glad to hear. Happy printing.
Thanks for the video. My prints were coming out crappy and someone suggested the nozzle was plugged. I have only had my printer for a couple of weeks and had no clue on how to unclog it. I found you video and had the printer up and running in no time! Thanks again for sharing!!!
Happy to help!
Thank you,
I got same problem and encountered exact same obstacles you had. Finally, I've got same successful you had. I appreciate sharing the whole procedure.
Thats great, good luck to you.
Really great video will save me a lot of time when i get that problem, thanks for posting it.
Tac Blades happy to help
Dude you saved me I followed your steps unscrewed the extruder top and realize it was the tube that was clogged there was a solid piece in there so what I did was ran the pla back through the line with it off and just kept knocking on it until it popped it out then I cleaning nozzle while I was at it I wish I could show you the piece that came out I don't know how that happened but thank you for this this helps now for my first print afterwards
Happy to help.
Thanks this video helped me a lot I’m new to 3d printers and I had no idea what to do
Awesome! Thanks for the tips San Tube!
happy to help!
Thank you for this video, it helped me unclog my nozzle on my Tevo Tornado.
Happy to help.
thank you as a new owner this saved my arse today
This video helped so much! Thanks for this!
I love your videos man! Love the frustrations 'I got absolutely nothin' :-) Thanks for vid. I had no success just like you. Gonna try this tonight. Thanks!!
Happy to Help.
you saved the 3d printer life from unclog arteries great job
I swear by Canola oil. 3 yrs ago I would get clogs on a regular basis with my makerbot replicator. I read that canola oil (when use with PLA) can help coat the nozzle and prevent clogging. I has worked great and I'm still using the same nozzle with thousands of print hours. You don't need much. Every time I change filament I rub a small amount on the first 2cm or so of filament and that's it.
Thats interesting, i mite try it.
I came here because my Bowden tube is not coming out of the Extruder. I've pulled pretty hard so I'm not sure what to do. Thanks for the video confirming that it should be easy to get out...!
Good luck!
Thanks this really helped me get back in business
Happy to help and Good luck to you future prints.
Hey! Thanks for you explanations! I followed you steps but I don't know why I can't screw back the throat. I understood making the mistake at the other extremity that we could slip the screw on the tube but not back due to small metal teeth; So I paid attention but that's a pain to screw, I should maybe cut a piece out of the throat to be able to screw. There is also a small "U" blue piece I don't know what is the function.
I absolutely LOVE your Destiny table! Is that a vinyl wrap? Please share where you got it! Thanks!
You can order 24 or 26 gauge ecig coil wire (American wire gauge) to use instead of the wire it should have come with. Not 100% sure which size it is but it's one of those. I have 22 and 28 in front of me, 22 is too big and 28 is too small. Just FYI on Amazon it's cheap as hell, look for Master of Clouds (brand I used to use personally when I Vaped)
Thanks man! It was really helpfull
Happy to help!
THANK YOU!!!
I almost gave you a thumbs down because you took so long to figure it out but once you put the wrench to the damn thing, I followed along and I sorted out the clog issue in the nozzle. Now I have to figure out what to do with the damn tube... Thanks AGIAN! (NEW SUB + 1LIKE!)
thank you.
@@SANTUBE On a side note, this thing has a memory! So if you turn it off, it will allow you to resume the print! Not sure if it gets unplugged, if it will allow this option so...
As is with my situation, running out of filament and there being absolutely NO WHERE but the internet, that one might be able to acquire another spool, I can continue with the same print once it arrives! Thanks to you, since that might take a while, if I have any clog issues, I now know how to troubleshoot the scenario in order to get the print completed! Again, THANK YOU so VERY MUCH for taking the time to create this video tutorial, and sharing. Thank You.
Thx buddy. Appreciated.
happy to help.
a long 1/16 th allen key ( 1.59mm ) can be used to push the remainder through the nozzle.. this way , youre not jamming more filament into the hotend while trying to clear it.
thanks for the info, Good luck and happy printing.
how are you raising the gantry- I went in motion I think and tried to raise Z, now my print nozzle is further from the bed, but there isn't a minus value to reset it
thanx for the vid i was haveing the same prob
Thanks you fix my issue :)
Happy to help!
First of all thank you so much. The whole process is very enlightening. Not only for CR-10 but pretty much 90% of bowden setup printers. I have a question though. At The end of the video you suggest that you can clean the nozzle with nail polish removers. I believe it is acetone. As far as I know it does work only for ABS. Can you confirm that indeed this was ABS filament that clogged the nozzle?
It was not ABS it was pla. I wouldn't recommend it unless its your last choice because it takes a very long time to clean with nail polish.
Thanks!
Happy to help!
Hello, My 3d Printer (Creatily CR10S) has stopped working properly today, the nozzle is not melting anything although it is heater properly. The Filament is being pushed and everything is working perfectly. I cleaned the nozzle today morning after the problem started occurring, do you have any suggestion what could be happening?
Thank you! U r a life saver
hello, i am using cr-10 smart, i am getting filament running out error, how can i solve it?
Amazon is selling something called "eSUN 3D Printer CLEANING Filament 1.75".
Pretty good reviews from customers ... Apparently you feed a small amount (10cm or so), every so often as a preventative measure ... Supposed to clean the gunk out of your hot-end so that you don't build up residue ... I've not used it myself, but might invest in some (0.1 Kg for $13 from Amazon).
bozoTclown666 thanks for the tip. I will look into it
I use it. Works well.
how did you move it up!? the stepper i can relise but not so i can change the nozzle with out taking the bed away
two ways, you can manually turn the coupler which the Zrod connects to or you can turn on the power and then go to prepare then move axis and make sure you pick either .01mm or .1mm then pick z axis and turn the knob until it moves up. Don't pick the 10mm because the z axis doesn't show up under 10 for some reason.
Can you tell me how many inches is your table top from the wall to front? I purchased the 5S and I just want to make sure I have a table that fits this printer. Your info would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I have a cr-10 and Cr-10 and it takes about 23 inches but the table i made is about 27 inches
Can you make a video about your cr10s settings in view 2.5 it would be so helpful, I have a cr10 coming in the mail but I want to be prepared for when it comes in, thanks!
ok blackghouls676, the video on what cura settings i use is out. Good luck.
SAN TUBE thanks
I'm a beginner to printing...how did u raise the extruder so high up.. I have looked and can't figure it out.. thanks
push on your knob on the control box then go to prepare then to move axis and then pick 1m or .1m then pick z axis and then just turn the knob to increase the number. NOW DO NOT PICK 10M or the z axis will not appear, you have to pick .1m or 1m. Good luck
Hi there,
How is it possible you have more options in your menu than I have???
I can not find the option autotemp and motion.
How do you get the nozzle up???
you can do a firm update. That should fix it.
If you try to move the axis by .1mm , instead of 10mm , the Z axis will appear in next menu and now you can move it .
Did you find out why it was clogged? I think it might be something with aggressive retraction settings (long distance and high speed retractions). What are your thoughts?
retraction settings could play a role in a clog along with many other things. i don't know what cased it but i just cleaned it and moved on.
How did you bring up the z axis?
Go into the menu then click prepare then move axis the .1mm then click z axis.
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully mine never gets this bad. Are you looking forward to Destiny 2? :)
JAYTEE Tompkins I hope yours doesn't get this bad either. As for Destiny, hell ya bro, I took Wednesday off lol. Right now we r trying to build up our group clan.
Hey man, this video is very inciteful and well done but I just gotta ask - how the hell did you get the nozzle off? I'm trying to replace mine to see if that improves the under-extruding but it is thoroughly stuck to my extruder. Are there any screws you loosened before removing that you didn't show in this video or smthn like that?
Sorry for late reply. You don't need to unscrew anything to change the nozzle. Just turn up your nozzle temp to about 220-230 then take a wrench that came with the printer and just turn it to loosen. Please be careful though because the nozzle is hot.
I had to get a socket wrench to get my nozzle off
Santube I have been follow your video's. I am a beginner I buy a Creality CR10 S 5 and I have problem with calibrating my bed. I have see 1 of your video about calibrating the Cr 3 but I stil don't understand it all. Please can you help me with this?
sure thing bud, whats ur question.
Is there a way to turn off the beep every time you push the control button ?
You can but you have to go into the firmware to do so. I personally am not aware of the process.
How did you move the z axis up so that you could work on the hotend?
Click the home button then select prepare, the scroll down to where it says move axis select that, then pick the second one i believe its .01mm, then scroll down to Z axis then just turn the nob until it moves up or down. good luck.
On my CR10s, the only options there are X and Y axis. :/
you have to scroll down till 0,1mm
Rob O'Hara that's if you do by 10mm has to be by 1 or less increments
my latest solution is don't bother, the nozzles are down to 1.49 each on ebay, I just swap em out when needed.especially on the cr-10 where I could be running a 20 or 30 hr print and don't wanna restart if the clog is partially unblocked.
It is cheaper to switch it out.
Hi I need help, filament has seemed to enlarge in the tube and harden so while clearing out the filament by pulling it out it broke off in the tube .
Tyquan Jackson you will need to replace the tube, cr-10 comes with an extra one.
SAN TUBE does it come with clips on the side or do I have to remove the connections to put on the new?
SAN TUBE Mail came in and the tube has arrived,i connected both ends ,fed filament through and it started working for 10 minutes then it stopped.so it appears to be not coming through nozzle which gets hot...it actually stuck in there???😯I'm confused .
Tyquan Jackson take the tub of from the hot end side. Take the nozzle off but make sure it's hot ( be careful please because it is hot so don't burn or hurt urself). Then cut about a foot of faliment then try to push it in the hot end until it comes out from the bottom. Then put the nozzle back on but try to put on a new one that came with the printer as an extra. Make sure the printer is hot the whole time you do this, and please use caution. The clog mite be in the hot end or nozzle. I can't tell for sure cause I can't see what u have. Good luck
Ok so I unclogged it but it's still having issues what's weird is my fan it stays at one percent,and clogged itself again .
What do you do if the golden thing won’t go back down the tube into the extrider
can you specify the "golden thing" more for me? maybe i can help, cuz i also have a clog
@@datweirdspider4941 nvm I solved the problem, the gold nut that screws the pttu tube into the extruder, I pulled it out to far so it got stuck and didn’t want to come back down so I just had to pull really hard
@@3dcustomz149 ok, good to know!
Keep cutting the bowden tube down if that happens again, Keep doing that until the bowden tube cannot reach the end of the X axis with least 1 to 2 inches of slack. Happy printing.
It is strange that none of the 10/10 reviews for this printer ever mentioned the loud noise of the controller fan. I just ordered 10S. Hopefully they have already solve the
issue.
The fan on the S is a little bit better but still noticeible.
First Thank for your response. I have already ordered replacement fans for the controller. I am told they will reduce the sound by half. I am also looking into stepper motor sound dampeners. I plan to keep the printer next to my work table so it is kind of a important. thanks you very much.
sfitube that's a workaround for the dampeners
ama tell ya an easy method. take the filament tube out from the extruder and heat the nozzle to 230 and then stick the plastic inside without a tube. then cool it down and select preheat pla. then start pulling until it heats up enough that it can be pulled. Problem solved
Wouldn't it be easier to pull the tube out and then just look in there instead of removing the whole fitting?
I'm just learning about all this stuff. REALLY considering the cr10 printer :) The thing gets rave reviews everywhere and the price seems to be going up every day :(
NuarStanger yes it would be but it also pulls at the z axis so I was just being cautious
My nozzle is jammed can't get new filament in...
Your clog mite go pass the nozzle into your bowden tube.
How did you raise the nozzle up to that height?
Its in the menu, click on prepare, go to move axis and then pick .1mm then you will see z axis then rise it from there.
Thankyou for that.
Happy to help!
The nut near the hot end is hard to slide back down.
Sorry, I am not understanding what problem your having.
I mfixed mine in3 minutesm into the video just replace the tibe and clean the head.
Now a days it’s cheaper to just replace it.
These printers do clog pretty often. :/
Thats all part of the 3D printing world. Clogs are always happening.
i do Agree but for example i had a prusa for 4 year and i only had 10 clogs , whereas my boss bought 3 of this printers and i get clogs more or less every day once in any printer . :/ an we only had them just over a month .:/
MrJefferson105 ya different printers work differently, just keep an eye on it and see what mite be casing the problem.
Nhhho
You're actually making it worse. The filament needs to exit the ptfe tube directly into the metal nozzle. What you're doing is melting PLA around the top of the nozzle. DON'T USE THIS METHOD.
Well now i am certain, i dont want a creality cr10!
Can i ask why and if not the cr-10 then which printer are you considering.
Because it looks like your having a lot of trouble unclogging it when it shouldnt clogg in the first place. I also hate those rinky dinky lcd controllers. I want something with wifi and a web control and a graphic touch screen.
This video was made a long time ago, now a days its just easier to replace the nozzle. I don't get many clogs on this printer but i did have one when i made the video. With the features your looking for, yes go with a different printer but the features will also increase the cost. Well, Good luck to you.
Thanks
