I have the K1 bought in 2023, using the “old extruder”. I see there’s an upgraded extruder available, is this worth it?
My biggest print fail issue is the extruder being jammed. Ill do hours and hours of different prints, and it seems to jam AFTER I change the filament. Perhaps Im not changing filament properly, heres what I do:
I retract the current filament
unlock the extruder and remove filament
put new filament in till it “stops”, and then lock the extruder
perform an “extrude” and I do this twice to make sure everything is cleared
(On the first extrude, I also give the filament a little push to catch it.
It will then print the first 3 layers FINE, and then it gets jammed.
It just seems odd that it will print fine for a bit and then get jammed, but its always after a filament change.
Anyway, unsure if the upgraded extruder makes a difference for this kind of scenario.
FYI I’m using the creality hyper PLA in both cases.
