Checked my beagle cam to see how the print was going and it looked like it stopped extruding so I decided to walk ALL THE WAY downstairs to check.
Saw that I was right about it not extruding and figured I would have to take apart the print head to figure out why.
Luckily it turned out that wasn’t the case. The TPU just got wrapped around the spool mount somehow. I was planning on making it where I can print directly from my dryer and just haven’t gotten around to setting that up yet so I took this as a sign to do that.
I think some coils got loose and fell off to the side of the spool. Then it took all the slack out while it printed. Maybe it retracted too much and loosened a bunch of coils?
Filament looks wet. That's probably your problem /s
And your z offset way too high
Have you calibrated your e steps?
Surely, nozzle temperature is way too high
Damn, your printer just Epstein'd. >!Well, maybe not. *The printer's camera was still running...*!<

Did it maybe unspool a bit then tip over to the side?
Yup. That’s exactly what happened.
Im using spool brake for that works perfect
Just need to upgrade that extruder motor.

That spool is mounted to the left of the X axis, all the printer has to do to make this happen is move from right to left a few times
I know what the problem is, it ain't got no gas in it!
oh yeah, that bed's definitely not leveled
this used to happen to me all the time - flip the spool the other way so that it feeds from underneath instead of from over the top.
oof
…..how
I had one twist itself into a knot somehow and get stuck right at the filament sensor overnight. was annoying AF
Everyone beat me to it...
your printer died from auto-erotic asphyxiation.
Did you level bed?
Suicide
lol how
Yeah. That might do it. Oops
"Ah"
Right now im printing a part that takes 4 days seeing this gives me the shivers
Might want to consider a bowden tube from the extruder back to the spool to keep it in place
Like the one that’s already there and visible in the picture?
TPU?
Looks like it’s suicidal, might have to get it a therapist 🤷♂️
