Printrbot simple metal won't print after printing successful

Post by wootin24 »

Hi, I had my new printrbot simple metal running great and have printed a few things on it. My last print was running and all of a sudden it stopped extruding. I noticed that the filament metkted near the pushing gear tensioner system so I cut it out and tryed to push more filament back in. I could not get the filament into the extruder and nothing comes out. I really need this thing to be working because as a high school student, I dont have a lot of extra money for broken equipment

If filament is melting there, your printhead is probably overheating. I'm not familiar with the Printrbot heads. Let me check with the Printrbot experts.
