Forum Post: Creality K1 “Non‑Stop Pooping” After Failed Prints / Local Files
Title: Creality K1 keeps “non‑stop pooping” filament after failed prints or when starting from local file
Post: Hi everyone, I’m having a serious issue with my Creality K1 and I’m hoping someone here has seen this before.
Whenever I get a failed print, or when I start a print from local storage, the printer begins what I call non‑stop pooping. The extruder moves back and forth over the purge area like it’s going to the “toilet bowl”, poops a bit, moves away, then comes back and poops again. It repeats this cycle endlessly.
Here’s what happens:
-
Extruder goes back and forth over the purge area
-
It extrudes small blobs or long strings repeatedly
-
It stops for a moment, moves out, then returns and starts pooping again
-
I cannot stop it using Stop, Retract, the app, PC, or web interface
-
The only way to stop it is to turn off the printer with the rear power switch
-
If I don’t manually move the print head to the center of the bed, it tries to destroy the purge bowl
-
One time it extruded around 400 grams of filament before I could shut it off
-
It behaves like it wants to empty the entire spool
This happens every single time after:
-
A failed print
-
Starting a print from local files
-
No G‑code shows any extrude command
-
The extruder simply starts extruding on its own and never stops
I also have CFS, so I don’t always have the energy to troubleshoot deeply. Has anyone experienced this? Is it a firmware bug, a stuck motion buffer, or a corrupted job queue inside the K1?
Any tips or fixes would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards, Stålt – frustrated Creality K1 owner
