Will not print

Flagship K Series Creality Flagship K2 Plus & CFS
1

I received my K2 Plus on October 3. After I set it up, it worked like a dream, and I printed lots of items with both PLA and PETG … just mono-color stuff from the side reel. All was well for a couple of weeks. Then I got a clogged needle, which I replaced. Got a jammed filament and removed the extraction unit. Kept printing. But then it stopped printing one day. I just got globs of filament … not just strings, but globs. I washed the bed with soap and water, acetone, and alcohol. I tried the following:

-New hot end

-New extrusion unit

-New build plate

-Tried coating plate with glue stick from Creality

-Tried coating plate with diluted Elmers school glue

Nothing has show any improvement. HELP!!! Here are some photos:

This is the edge strip which is always printed first:

Here is the hot end after I stopped the print:

I would really appreciate any help. Right now I am frustrated beyond measure.

I would try the Extrusion Servo Motor (e-axis) calibration. Requires using the browser/Fluidd interface but is just two commands. It’s a quick way to eliminate some extrusion issues which seems to be what you are experiencing.
