Luke_Allpress · 2016-06-26T08:57:04.000Z

hey guys, i have got a ctc dual extruder 3d printer, and when i try to print, the filament just curls up the nozzle, and doesn’t go onto the build plate, so i don’t really know what to do ;/ please help someone

Have you correctly leveled your build table ?

Hey Mine never did this until recently. What is on your build plate I.E tape etc?

Sounds like a slightly blocked nozzle if it isn’t extruding straight down when extruding away from the build plate. If it isn’t adhering to the plate what temps are you using and are you sure you haven’t got too much distance between the nozzle and the build plate?

Kapton Tape and a glue stick!

Hello Luke. First you need use blue tape in the heat bed, then calibrate the build plate with the nozzle with a pepper between nozzle and plate. You would use glue to 3D printing or hair spray (is the same) upper the blue tape. And that’s all… lets go to print!!
