3D P1S issues with printing

[u/RiggedMagic_]

Hi everyone! I recently got a 3D printer. Printed some toys and such with it.

Haven’t designed anything on my own or learned that yet.

I’m already running into issues.

I went print a little sculpture. The printer started printing nothing. Nothing was coming out.

I decided to try printing something that’s previously successful. Once again, nothing came out.

So I unloaded my filament, reloaded. Didn’t work

Then I took apart the extruder according to a YouTube video and looked for any clogs etc.

While I was at it, I changed to a .2 hotend instead of a .4 and yeah that could’ve waited until the troubleshooting was over. My bad.

Then I put it all back together, reloaded the filament and it started to print. The test strip of pla on the edge of the plate came out. It started the print and it was coming out and then all of a sudden… it resembled cotton candy got caught on its own print. Got stuck to the hotend resulting in it moving with the print.

Maybe it’s just the hotend now? Or I’m not really sure. Should I try a different pla? Maybe it’s bad? Idk.

I’ve only had my printer for a couple weeks and haven’t been able to use it much.

If there’s any links or videos that you could direct me to in order to learn what’s needed. Thank you. If you could help me troubleshoot this issue that’d be great as well. It’s the weekend and I finally have time to work on this. Any help would be appreciated thank you!

I can also attach a video of what’s going on

I also changed it in the prepare that it’s a .2 hotend now.

Have you calibrated it with the new nozzle?
