I started to print something I print all the time, but I could see on the app it wasn’t adhering. I stopped it remotely then an hour later I got around to checking on the printer. I found this brown rubber thing was down over the nozzle and there was gobs of melted (then recooled/hardened) filament surrounding the nozzle and the area above the nozzle.

I tried heating the nozzle to melt it enough to pull it out, but it looks like I pulled off a wire in my efforts. Now getting an abnormal temp reading since pulling that was not there before.

We do keep it in the garage and it’s pretty hot right now (was around 95 degrees this morning when it happened, but we’ve used it at hotter outdoor temps without issue.

The filament, HT-PLA-Pro, is jamming repeatably. I've done a 14 hour print with it, but the print before, and every subsequent print keeps bunching up in the extruder gears.

I've taken this thing apart so many times now that the filament detection wires are barely hanging on to the clips.

This is incredibly frustrating. What am I doing that it can work one print, but not the others? It's the exact same file and print settings so I don't get it.

So I mostly print PETG and some ABS. I sealed up the whole printer inside those foam pad. It will be quieter and less toxic I think. I hope this will reduce electricity cost as PETG and ABS need high bed
Temperature. But I’m worried this is bad for electronics and the power supply because HI doesn’t have a fan for cooling the main board and power supply and it’s about 50°C inside the case. By the way I hope this is good for drying the material on the rack.

It’s cute, simple and easy to print!

When I received my Sparkx i7 Combo, I decided to make a small improvement to the top spool holder. I designed and printed a model, resulting in a very convenient adapter that accommodates spools with various inner hole sizes. The spool sits securely on the holder and spins easily.

Hi! I’m having an issue with my Creality Hi.

As you can see in the photos, I get a thick horizontal line/band on the surface of my prints. The strange thing is that it always appears at the same height, regardless of the model I print. After that point, the rest of the print continues normally.

I already replaced a part that Creality support had previously sent me because of another error, but this issue is still happening.

Has anyone experienced something similar with the Creality Hi?

Could this be related to the Z-axis, lead screws, alignment, or some kind of Z binding?

Any advice on what I should check would be appreciated.

I’m having trouble removing Z limiter “pin” thingy to install CR touch as guide entails, in his video he removed his without much trouble, my issue is when I removed the plate and I realized I have a LOT of excess hot glue, should I just try to rip it out and risk the damage to the board or can I keep it in?

The submersible fuel pump broke down. I created a 3D model, printed it on my Creality K1C, and the pump is back in action!

Hey everyone, hoping to get some advice.

I bought a used Creality K1C a while back and it printed fine at first. Lately though, filament extrudes normally for a while into a print, then just... stops. No more flow, print fails.

What I've tried so far:

Replaced the nozzle

Did a quick filament load test right after installing the new nozzle — filament extruded perfectly fine

Since the short load test worked fine but it still fails partway through actual prints, I don't think it's a simple clog anymore. My best guess right now is heat creep — maybe the heatsink cooling fan isn't running at full strength (or the duct got misaligned when I had the hotend apart before), so heat slowly creeps up into the cold zone above the heatbreak during a longer print, the filament softens too early, expands, and jams.

Does this sound like the right track? A few things I'm planning to check:

Whether the heatsink fan is actually spinning at 100% during prints

Whether the fan duct is still aimed correctly at the heatbreak fins

Dust buildup on the fan/heatsink (it's secondhand so who knows what the previous owner did)

Would appreciate any input from anyone who's dealt with this on a K1C (or similar direct-drive hotend) — especially if there's something else I should check before assuming it's heat creep. Thanks!

I’m really happy with how this one turned out. What do you think of the design?
