  I'm in the same situation. I had the same symptoms: printer would auto-home and adjust all three axes fine from the move menu. Extruder and end-stops work fine. When I tried printing, it would get up to temperature, start to auto-home, and then freeze. Did you ever find a fix for your issue?

  To anyone having this problem I found the solution!!. The SD card reader shorts itself out on the bottom right screw that connects it to the printer housing. Current solution is to just remove the screw and all will work once again

  @Pasha measured mine: 8mm outside diameter 2mm pitch (distance between threads) 4 start (if you look at an end, 4 threads start there) 500mm long. You better confirm this since you took yours out Googling, it all points to a T8-8 x 500mm long screw, which does seem pretty common. Also found 520mm long screws, but that would stick up outside the frame a bit.

  @ReggieN I came across issues getting it to pause too. I noticed there were at least 2 different plugins to try: Filament Change Pause at Height Just playing around with these 2 now. Filament Change doesnt seem to add anything to the gcode. Pause at Height does add a bunch of things -- seems more promising. I'm really kicking myself, i just can't remember what i ended up doing.. whether i even got it to work with one of these plugins, or if i finally did it manually somehow. Guess it doesnt help much, but just wanted to let you know it's not just you/your machine!

  Not sure about your model and firmware etc, but I find pulling the card from the printer without switching the printer off is a fast way to get a blank unformatted sdcard, If you have the option in your printer menus to eject/unmount/release the card could try using it before pulling the card from now on, see if your files stop dissapearing. If your firmware does not have #define NO_SD_HOST_DRIVE option or similar, then you might be stuck with just turning off the printer every time you want to eject the card

  Dear jordanthompson, The problem of stringing is caused by several factors, please lower the temperature of the nozzle first to improve the phenomenon of stringing; then check the bottom pulley of the hot bed in the Y-axis direction and the surface of the profile for defects; move the hot bed manually to see if it is loose and adjust the tightness of the lower belt.

  @wgragg Yeah, unfortunately parts specific to the Ender-6 in general are still not easy to find. This vipmall site is useful to look parts up and get more info, but it's wholesale, so not for consumers. Axial: https://vip.creality.com/en/goods-detail/600 Blower: https://vip.creality.com/en/goods-detail/645 The usual 'official' Creality stores don't seem to help, so it's likely going to have to be from a reseller, and probably not Ender-6 specific. 3D Jake does appear to have original Ender-6 fans. https://www.3djake.com/creality-3d-printers-spare-parts/hotend-fan-1 (Axial) https://www.3djake.com/creality-3d-printers-spare-parts/part-cooling-fan-1 (Blower) The original axial fan is really noisy... Maybe a ball bearing version would be an upgrade? https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/40mm-sealed-bearing-fan-24v-ender-3-tornado/ https://www.th3dstudio.com/product/4010-ball-bearing-fan-24v/ Fans for other Enders should fit though. Just check size (4010) and voltage (24v), and cable length and connector as @BaDboD said, if you want a drop-in replacement.

  @telephasic Yes. Very frustrating. I swapped the e-plug and the z-plug around on the board to check if was a wire or motor fault, move the z axis from the control panel and the e-motor runs correctly in both directions. press the feed button on the panel and the z motor does the joggle back & forth. So I'm guessing its something with the board. I'll send an email to creality and see if they can help, but I bought the board thru Banggood, soo.... all i can do ask.

  @telephasic Interesting, I've found that the glass side does a great job of not only sticking well (after using rubbing alcohol to clean it before printing), but also once the build is completed and cools off it easily comes off the glass. (In fact since I switched to the glass side I haven't had to use the metal scrapper to release any of my prints.) Of course my system is now fully enclosed so the constant temp may also help with this.

  The problem is that the Creality printer controller is connected to the 5V supply in your wifi box, but there probably isn't enough power available to properly power the 3D printer (i.e. controller + heaters + motors). A simple solution is to cut the 5V wire in the USB cable. See my post: http://captainbodgit.blogspot.com/2021/05/3d-printer-isolating-usb-5volt-feed.html

  @Dogberticus So for anyone following this, the carbon fiber was an epic fail. But as I researched it more, it may be that I was using a 0.4 mm nozzle and it seems the recommended size is 0.5. I'll update this after I've tried the 0. 5 and let you know.

  @wgragg even if you're mechanically inclined, I think there's still a lot of little things that have to be shown instead of written in one answer on a forum. I'd say better search and watch a BUNCH of YouTube videos ("ender hot end replacement") before you dive in. Ender-6 isn't that widespread yet, but there is a lot for other creality printers which have a lot in common, like: https://youtu.be/LD6vQt4Z32Y https://youtu.be/nyUBlR1RK18 There's so much on YouTube, you can learn whatever you want.. from the basics like learning what things are called, unboxing/setups, tips for tuning for good results, to doing all kinds of upgrades (which a hot end is sort of not the most basic upgrade...). These printers are relatively cheap because they expect the user is going to tinker and tune it to get it right.. they are getting a lot better lately but good results out-of-the-box I don't think should be promised. You really do need to be willing to put some time in to do some learning or you might get discouraged.
