When I started my RU-vid channel it was to keep in touch with family around the country. Recently, my videos have been more of a learning tool. If you have questions about small engines or auto repair questions send me a message or leave a comment.
Hey, I just came across your channel maybe a week or two ago, and I’m loving the content. You deserve at least 70k subscribers mainly for the reason of just spreading positivity around your area, and for the viewers that watch you. You are a great man, and you are making a difference in the world.
@crazymatt2482 the deck blades aren't supposed to spin until you engage the blades. You might check the brake pads. There is one on each side of the deck. Thanks for the comment!
@@januaryman169 actually I just figured it out from another video. There’s an adjustment rod underneath that will release the belt tension. Thanks for your input!
Thats like mine.... ran fine, now back fired , now I have no spark to plug. I checked 2 kill switches on it..seem to be ok.. .ya on solenoid off switch mine works fine. . Im not a electri wizard... but not totally stupid either... ... Mine seems to do the same thing almost..... but then now i have no spark.. so F!!
@@philliphall5198 was the coil... replaced an runs great now.. utube is amazing the info..lol 6 dollar part from amazon. What had me stumped id at times it would run.... i found video explains why coil/stater can work off an on...in my mind it was a work or broke... there not that way...all good. Now
i cant tell but looks like you have an auto level, looks like the heads scraping the glass , or im seeing residue from previous prints. level all 4 corners of the bed, i dont have mine hooked up to see what i was running temps on the head and the bed, your spool should have the optimal temp labeled on it. which printer do you have? i got a ender cr-10, manual level simple , its actually in storage with all my other equipment. going to be one hell of a storage find for some one by the looks of it.
raise the head up as high as you can, preheat the nozzle , push the filament through the extruder manually after a few minutes to see if you can clear the nozzle, it should start oozing out on its own while preheating... did you do the paper trick to set the height? a good way to stay on top of it is always clean up the nozzle after printing, wiped clean , so you can set the height next use zero it , then raise the head up and put it into preheat, once the beds heated and the nozzle is heated it'll go straight to 0 and start printing. dont prick the old clog out , get it hot and try forcing the filament through, all else fails prick it out , but chances are you need a new nozzle then.
I have leveled the bed using the paper method. I had to change the Bowden tube. However, I forgot to clean the bed. I'm about to give her a go to see if I do something with it. Yes, it has the auto-level upgrade.
I'm thinking it could be a clog. However, if I turn the temp up to 260 which is the maximum temperature on my printer, it will extrude material. Can you explain the spring tension to me? Before I forget thanks for the comment.
@@januaryman169 In the stepper motor that pushes fillament forward - there is a tensioning mechanism which pushes filament toward the gear of the motor. So it must be gripping filament firmly, but not too tight. Sometimes there is a thumbscrew to adjust tension and/or lever to release tension when changing the filament. If it's plastic - tension lever can even break and stop applying pressure. Another issue might be PTFE tube damaged on the hotend side. You can remove PTFE tube, and cut damaged part, then reinsert it. This is why I prefer to work with all metal hotends (they have other issues though). PTFE tube get's damaged fast at elevated temperatures (>220°C).
Could be that your Filament isn't actually being pushed through. Either that or you have no filament. Happened to me yesterday. Check the gears that's feeding the filament into the tube.
its either clogged or the gears cant get a grip on the filament, most likely clogged to fix this heat it up and shove a needle up the nozzle or heat it up put in filament and take it out when it coos
I just got this problem today on my Ender 3. I found that the little part that is screwed on the extruder axle of the stepper motor maybe to lose which leads to spin on itself and the filament isn’t pushed anymore to the hotend, so you can just screw it back. OR it can be that the hotend is clocked up, as the other people are saying. Have a nice day and good luck 👍
Clog in the hotend. Clear the hotend of clogs, check your extruder to make sure it's pushing filament, and calibrate your e-steps and flow rate for how fast your printer can go. If that's an Ender 3 standard printer. It's base speed is 50mm/s. As I have a standard Ender 3 printer.
Hi, You can use basically any slicer for beginning. Most of them have well tuned profiles for ender 3 or ender 3 V2 (doesn't matter :)) First you should check, if you are using the right temperature for your material. If you use pla (beginner friendly) you should be printing somewhere between 200 and 220° C. This could happen, when the nozzle is too near to the bed but this looks more like a clog inside the hotend/nozzle. I would try to do a hard pull: Let the Hotend heat to 130° and push the release-mechanism for the filament on the extruder (the part that pushes filament through the tube) so that you can pull the filament out. Look at the end. If it is somehow deformed, etc it can give you a clou about what's going on in your Hotend/nozzle. Then cut the filament (in a 45° angle, not straight) and put it back in. Also there can be problems if your Hotend is not assembled the right way. There was a video a few years back on how to do it with ender 3 or V2. It's the same for both. There is a bit of ptfe tube inside the hotend that can cause problems. Look for a video on how to fix them and assemble it. Also tighten the nozzle again after you heated up! Also there used to be a spacer you could print that would sit inside the top of the Hotend, that would allow a tighter fit and better filament path.. Also use standard retraction settings at first, as wrong ones can lead to clogs too ;) Happy printing! Ps: also make sure to turn the Hotend fan always on. The one on the front..
The most likely possibility is that the distance between the bed and the extruder is too close or it could be too far. You can check using paper. even though there is autoleveling. - usually ender will use autoleveling first, then paper (manually). - it could also be because the filament is stuck in the extruder
the bed surface tells long stories if you not disassembled the hot end before then you are about to find out the real rabbit hole, make sure not to get hands burned
seeing your fan is off, the heatsink likely heated up to the point the filament softens in the heat throat and forms a clogg. i highly suggest you to check on the fan, whether is is working and just not switched on, or it if not working and needs to be replaced. cheers
Hah. If only you watched all my other videos on it. You would know that it is an ST!6. When my dad bought it 10 years ago it already had a replacement engine on it which was a 10-horsepower Tecumseh. In 2021, I threw the rod through the engine block. It currently has a little 8-horse Briggs and Stratton on it. So before you start throwing accusations around try educating yourself on what's really going on. BTW, Thanks for watching my video. I don't mean to sound defensive but sometimes it happens.
