Filament flow error by dual print
Quote from Charmaine Drusilla on 2025-07-30, 03:26Quote from Gladys Baker Baseball Bros IO on 2025-07-28, 08:07I’ve faced similar filament jams when dual printing on my Craftbot 3. I found that a slow, manual prime right before the extruder switch helps reduce heat creep issues. Also, using custom G-code can definitely improve the process—try adding a small extrusion command after the tool change in your slicer’s post-processing script. On a lighter note, whenever I want a break from troubleshooting, chatting with random people on Omegle really helps clear my mind and sparks new ideas naturally!
Have you tried adjusting the filament retraction speed or the printhead standby temperature? Are you more inclined to hardware or software optimization?

Quote from roasted game on 2025-08-02, 06:49Sounds frustrating! Have you tried adjusting retraction settings or ooze control? Excessive oozing after a switch could trigger the filament sensor. Is the filament path clear, like Bonnie's route through FNAF? Also, experiment with slightly lower temps (205C) to see if that helps control the flow. Good luck!

Gladys's tip on the slow prime sounds spot-on, though, gotta try that. I had a similar nightmare printing a two-color phone case, the black kept clogging up. Almost threw the printer out the window during a heated Friday Night Funkin session. I tweaked the retraction settings and slowed things down, which eventually did the trick.
