Sean had some issues with his Prusa i3 mk3 3d printer. We texted back and forth, but it was best for me to visit. 5 hours in a plane later, and we made it happen! The Bob-Omb model had extrusion inconsistences on one side. We tried a few troubleshooting techniques until we found the cause, and fixed it!

Well, poo. The audio is out of sync for a moment and I ACCIDENTALLY cut off Sean at the end. I did some edits late at night while he was playing the new Kingdom Hearts 3. Fully my fault, my mistake. Sean, I'm sorry. When you're in Seattle next, the first round is on me. Also, it's really cold in Michigan right now, don't die.
Can confirm, it is very cold here in Michigan. No school so a great day to do a long print :)
Ahahahah I thought that ending was fully intentional since you left it to him and just cut it off.
like acting you only notice it when its bad
3D Printing Nerd Kingdom hearts 3 is so good! I just 3d printed soras keyblade and working on making a video about it. Don’t worry about the issues with the video. It still has great info and it’s helpful.
Is it sync (editing issue) or drift? it sounded and looked like it drifted.
Sean gets his solo moment and RUclips cuts him off! ...Thanks for mentioning the Tool Kit and my brief cameo at 10:40.
Love your videos and how you do tons of videos on good afforable printers.
Can you do a video on how to get rid of zits please ?
jesus bastidas when you comment on somebody’s comment complimenting there Channel on somebody else’s channel well in the comment thread of there Channel and giving him video suggestions
I DID MY FIRST 3D PRINT TODAY!!!
MUCH EXCITE!!!
Welcome to the rabbit hole. lol
@Jacques Verreault your mom
3yrs later, where are you now?
I'm really glad this video was made I had these problems with my tronxy x5s and now with some tweaking and replacement nozzel it prints great, thanks 3DPN and Sean!!!
Thank you so much for making this video. I was having this very issue and I couldn't find a good solution anywhere else. These troubleshooting steps helped me go from printing awful messes to printing very nice models! Cheers!
I've just started having these issues show up on my Prusa clone, and was getting nowhere with online help. Thank goodness you posted this video at just the right time!
Doesn't matter how expensive your 3d printer is. Sometimes the hardware just wears out or gets loose. Great vid.
He said it never printed right, my guess it was a kit and wasn't put together properly plus him messing up the nozzle.
@12:50, if you have brass nozzles, use the brass bristled brush. The steel will dig into the brass.
An e3d silicone sock works great for keeping filiment off of your nozzle and block.
Thank you! I've been troubeshooting a strange issue on my MK3 where one corner was all rough. Changed the nozzle and all back to normal! Sometimes we forget the most basic things to check! I had been playing with slicer settings, dehydrating filament and other issues.
I’ve had these problems before, they are rare but hard to diagnose if you’re not familiar with 3D printing so I’m really glad this video helps teach viewers about them
Thanks! That was the thing - Sean is new and didn’t know. Now, he knows!
I have this issue right now(bad surface only in front of the objects), I had no ideia what to do.. I hope that changing the nozzle will resolve my issue.
@@raphaielbr So did your problem solve, please tell me I am also having same problem.
@@proknow4305 Yes! But in my case, my nozzle was only a little used with ABS, I don't needed change the nozzle, I just keeped print, I think this self cleaned the nozzle, I think my nozzle was only clogged up.
धन्यवाद मित्र।
I will pretend that the sound issue, and cutting him off at the end was just your way of showing him how much you need him as an editor. ;) Either way, once again, a great video! I've been printing for years, and the first few years would have been a lot less frustrating if your channel existed back then.
Yes, good info as usual and definitely a sound issue. Some weird noise in the back ground was very annoying.
I love you, thanks I spend hours trying to trouble shoot I’m new to printing and couldn’t figure it out but I had messed up the nozzle as well and didn’t even know it was a thing
I had that problem in my ender3 for a month until today that I've seen this video, thanks!
Oh now... Shawn was going to finish it up, then he was cut away....
Great video. Had similar looking problems with my CR-10 Mini printer but it had another issue. I had a Y belt that was a little flexible while the X belt was not. A belt replacement did the trick.
Have some great prints Shawn, like maybe a bicycle (pretty difficult with all the spokes).
its about time 3d printer people are finally starting to give fixing tutorials. someone finally realized how hard it is for a noob to learn this stuff on their own. took me personally way to long to learn this all on my own, i had to wait until i had that issue grow to unprintable status to figure out how to fix it.
Joel and Sean Great content. Because of your channel I started getting into 3d printing and I love it. Your passion is great. It helped me decided to start my own youtube channel. Keep up the great work.
I don't know how long ago this was recorded, but I, a michigander, apologise for the cold here.
Great Tips !!!!
I have a original I3 and sometime have some layershifts and your tips helped 100 %$ ( grubscrews on the pulley)
Anytime you post a troubleshooting video, you can always count on a Like from me. The more knowledge people know the better their prints will be. Pass the knowledge on people!
I just started getting layer issues on my 3d printer some layers wasn't sticking together but the print still successfully complete I watched this video and just bought a new nozzle and fitted it and my issue has gone, strange timing 😁 I get a problem and you release a video that helps me straight away thank you
If you had let the clipped ending go without comment, I would have laffed and laffed at the comedy timing.
Cool backdrop setup. It's easy to read the foreground action and objects. A zillion-watt rim light located high and at the back wall pointing down would make it even more dramatic and outline things crisply!
To add to troubleshooting, things I had to troubleshoot with my newly built machine:
1. Belt too slack (same problem as in this video). Apparently you should be able to twang it like a guitar string.
2. Filament to the right of machine. If you have an external filament reel holder and place it parallel to the x axis, it will pull on the x axis when it moves, giving a fair bit of resistance and causing it to slip. I placed the filament parallel to the y axis instead (in front of the machine) and it works infinitely better. Currently looking into mounting it on top.
3. Squeaky z movement. This one is obvious but I just sprayed a little lubricant on the top end of the threaded rods, and it improved both the sound and quality of the print.
I was surprised at such a smooth finish on the final print. It has a spun fiber look instead of the stepped layered look I see on so many 3d prints.
I have been trying everything from tightening belts and changing settings for a better print. I am definitely going to switch out the nozzle because my issues are the same as in the video.
Sean should print a soda or red bull snap cover lid with his logo on it.
Got to the point for me is to get some medium strength threadlocker on every screw I put on a 3d printer. Stopped me re-tightening every screw every 6 months:P
OH MY...my printer has been broken for about a month with this EXACT problem..perfect timing, thanks! :D
Test prints in black filament seem to show print irregularities better, at least on camera
Body shops hate black cars. Every wave, dent, bump, and scratch is easy to see.
That is exactly my problem, thank you very much, i just bougth some new nozzles
Great video. I'm having trouble with printing Lithophanes. The top right corner always fails. I will check belt and grub screws. Thanks.
What to print? Try something that needs assembly like the Kaiju monster from 3d kitbash. The connecting parts need precision printing. Glad you guys fixed the problem!
Bane Nascent there’s a power rangers megazord that requires exactly this as well.... I think i might know what to print now!
At 4:20, I can clearly see how using the flush cutters like that could lead to that problem. Instead of cutting the filament cold, on my printer, I heat up the filament to print temp, then I can retract the filament back one step with the move menu. Then I use a large set of tweezers to run just along the sides of the nozzle down to the tip to grab the molten plastic from the tip. If I need to I repeat again a couple more times if I continue to get some more oozing but it should stop soon since you previously retracted the filament. Then as soon as possible lower the nozzle heat back down below print temp to allow the filament to set back up inside the nozzle clean and flush. No risk of cutting any metal pieces nor getting your fingers burned either. I am uncertain as whether a Prusa can retract filament since I haven't played with one but this works well with my little Monoprice Mini Select. Great advice shared Joel!
Still not quite right ! You should align one grub-screw with the flat on the shaft. This way the connection is not dependent on friction only and also, that's what the flat is for. Cheers.
It's always interesting to see how other people troubleshoot hardware issues.
Clearly he needs to print a knob for the mk3 as it seems to be missing
Talk to Josef about that. 😂
or buy one or amazon
Joel, great video! FYI, though, at 4:30 (at least when *I* played it), the sound goes out of sync. High V!
I had the same issue with my 3d printer. Artifacts started to show up and i didn't knew what's the problem. Then i figured out that my X axis belt tightener broke. With some wire i fixed the problem temporarily until I printed the new one.
It was a bent heat block. slightly bent. for the first print, the bomb.
Did you cut him off on purpose at the end? :D
I think I set the out point when I sent him the video and then Joel added the sponsor in the beginnig and the outpoint didn't change, causing the end to be cut off! This is also probably why the audio gets out of sync at one point. To be fair, Joel was just trying to give me time to play Kingdom Hearts and not bother me for a day. Bless him!
@@Aidenn23 print a full size Kingdom Key
Do indexed belts exist ? Coupled with the matching sensor to read exactly where the belt is, and how far it's from where it's supposed to be.
audio desync around the flushcutters on nozzle section
Can confirm.
@@thedabblingwarlock Sean was busy sweating. It's HIS printer after all.
at 4:00 there is a desync and next at 5:00 there is the resync
Glad it wasn't me drinking too much beer then lol
😖
if you install the extruder-hotend-housing-update, the prints could be even better .... at least on my prusa mk3, this made a huge difference in printing quality an reliability
Nice vid! I finally know what to do about my Prusa now. Check al mechanics. Ironic, since I'm a mechanic... I was looking into recalibrating and all parameters instead of looking for the obvious.
Nice trouble shooting
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
If that's what happens when the belts are too loose, what happens when they are too tight? 0.o and I loved Chuck's cameo at 10:40!!!! Kinda like watching a marvel movie, lol
Too tight can cause irregularities as it CAN cause a bit of binding
Hm! Good to know, don't scrape the nozzle with flush cutters. The worst I'll do to the nozzle is gently scrape with a pair of offset tweezers.
I'm feeling confident that I can upgrade the nozzle on the office MK3 (pre-ordered the new E3D nozzle, can't wait).
For "cheap chinese" printers, definitely DON'T use the included tools. Throw them away & get an assorted set of metric hex wrenches, open/box wrenches, & sockets. The included "tools" will likely fail before proper tightness is obtained.
Well, I only just started 3D printing, with a big build area Tronxy X5SA. Even with the auto leveling driving me up the wall. Because it do it and I have 6 tension spring knobs to try and get the 16 auto checked points on the big 330 by 330 build hot plate adjusted to the stated 0.8 hot end height above the hot bed? Really hard to get it right I had to just get it as close to it as possible but not 0.8 each point. Then the Z axis adjustment too very hard to do right? After many many try's I got it sort of close. I downloaded the famous Benchy Boat and with the free PLA white I got with the printer, I did the slicing in the Tronxy own brand slicer and after 4 hours of printing this small white Benchy was done! Not bad looking for a 1st newbie print I guess? Not prefect, But Okay.
I brought some ABS blue filament and just spent half a day trying to re-level the print bed... Really a pain.. then on to do my 1st ABS print, which was a couple of side by side ABS small Z axis stoppers for the printer I got. That's why I am here watching you guy's Because both of those tubes after printing just broke in two length wise and they were printed at the recommended settings on the spool of ABS, which was 244 C for the hot end and 90 C for the hot bed. both were pre-heated.. the hot end is new brass one no damage. I followed the guide of the printer manual to clear out the white PLA that had just done the Benchy! So I checked the printer belts are tight enough, I really don't know what is the problem? Now I just seen a British printing company Has done a now Super Hot End Nozzle called " NOZZLE X " Which can handle any filament even the tough stuff. And not wear out. I most likely get one as they d all sizes and the Nozzle is a good price. here is the website link > e3d-online.com/products/v6-nozzles
Was going to suggest the wire brush, but looks like you got into that. I picked up a small brass brush at Lowe’s for a few $. I like using it to wipe the “bleeding” filament off the nozzle that comes out just before you print while the printer is heating.
For nerdiness and to truly see what your printer can do, print a D&D Beholder, assuming you can find/make a model for it
Great video guys. I'm going to go and fix my 3D printer!
Thank for helping me with my issues. I liked the bomb file so much I printed 10 of them
nice laser add-on for your machine. laser from Endurance
this is the content I like! well done
Sean should print his very own Wekster original!
Great idea!
Really great video!!!
I'm planning to get my first 3d printer but having trouble picking one out. Want to print with nylon for gears and not sure which printer to pick.

Don't care about proprietary filament just looking for reliability and good quality prints. Thanks
guys, if you want to start 3d printing use the promo code and the ender 3 (one of the best starting printer) is reduced to $176.00 and is originally $220 which is the best deal I've seen so far
I'm currently having issues with my benchy prints (new to printing for the record) where it would be a perfect print but the smoke stack on it has weird rings on it, instead of being smooth, it's like if you were to put a ring of plastic over it in 3 places, if that makes sense
Hi, I am wondering why all possible issues showing up on one printer, I mean what about maintenance, just checking the mentioned spots once a while.
Ok, maybe it is that I do 3D printing for over 6 years now, and I have been thru all of those issues one after the other, but not all in a minute :-)
But good tips anyways :-) Thanks
Excellent timing!! I've been having the same problems, and using my flush cutters the same way... THANKS GUYS. I look forward to getting home today to troubleshoot.
Shouldn't you use a brass instead of a stell brush?
Great Vid. Have any of you guys seen the new TEVO Nereus. It looks sick. Joel should do a review.
GO BLUE!!!
Thinking about getting the new Nozzle X that has a lifetime warranty and can be used on all filaments :D
Thanks !
I love that Sean explains things in “average Joe” rather than technical jargon. Makes it supper easy for beginners to relate to because the are like, “yes exactly- my model looks like someone scratched it with keys- HELP ME!!!”
Sean needs to print Soup Tin Kelly from SparkyFace5!!!
Thanks, again very informative
Just got my ender 3 and haven't had one bad print yet
Troubleshooting is always a struggle but so satisfying when it's done! I recently replaced all the belts and pulleys on my printer and it's printing better than ever. So worthwhile.
Would have loved this when I started ;) High Five
Oh no, I used metal to pick off junk on the nozzle and my prints are garbage now. 13 hour print, the layers go back and forth, someone can rock climb. This is my first printer and I don't know what to do.
What destroyed my nozzle could possibly fix yours. Before each print I used to place a sheet of 220 grit sandpaper on the bed, lowered the nozzle until it touched, kinda like what you do for bed leveling, then pulled the sandpaper out parallel to the bed. Worked perfectly, but eventually ate through the brass. I was ready for that, though, and still had spare nozzles from when I sourced the parts for the printer.
Since you're playing Kingdom Hearts Print a Keyblade.
I became a patreon because of this video.
Hey 3DPN, can you do a video on how to correctly assemble a Creality MK8 hotend?
Troubleshooting is the best way to do anything.
Always make sure you are sober when you troubleshoot your 3D printer. Burning yourself and not remembering what settings you changed the next day is a headache.
(Not speaking from experience; that just sounds like sound advice.)
This is actually the *exact* issue I was having on my Ender 3. I've been trying to troubleshoot but I keep getting distortion on the Y axis. The Y belt is incredibly tight but there's no more belt to give it slack. But the layer shifts are on the Z axis so I wonder how I can fix that considering there's no belt.
Are you getting occasional layers that appear thicker than the rest? If so, look up "ender 3 magic number" on RUclips, chep has a video that might help, it has something to do with the number of steps the stepper motors actually have, and adjusting the layer height to the precise number for your motors should solve it
@@rejectedopinions yeah this does happen! Thanks! I'll check it out!
End of my 3D printing days are coming. Could have a cnc mill turn a block of wood quicker. Far less mistakes. .2 nozzle is not perfect.
Why they don’t have a nozzle for every other mm on the table is beyond me.
One nozzle to do while job is lunacy
Having this issue and was beginning to suspect the nozzle, but this popped up into my recommended just at the right time.
Coincidence, or did Google see the photo I took of it with my phone? /tinfoilhat
Great help, thank's
Hey Joel an Shaun , the prusa mk3 does vibrate quite a bit ,so i use thread locker on most of the metal on metal connections (don't use on any plastic as it will dissolve over time).
You should try printing a lithophane (picture) @3d.rocks they really do look cool.
Great channel guys and family, high 5
Great video!
Nice video
I have mk3 and I am having issue with Abs print, " heating done massage" it stop the print and filament eject message is displayed than I have loads the filament again, it works and stops again, the same file in pla setting works perfect, any suggestion
Awesome tips to keep in mind.
Only one thing I can think to say...
O - H
ehm don't like all those heavy abbresives tools, I just used some cloth heated up my nozzle and wiped it clean with some alchohol..
That's what I've taken to doing too. I just use a microfiber cloth doused in alcohol.
Hi Joel,
I have been watching the channel for a little while now and i really want to get a 3d printer. What would you suggest for a new person like me to get? I have been looking at the cr-10s.
@3dPrintingNerd... it was -15F here in MI today
Sean and I may not survive this...
ooooo, One of my printers is out of duty right now due exactly the same issue and I remember scratching the nozzle with cutters, thanks
MakerBot’s T-Rex on thingiverse at 175%
I just bought an ender 3 the other day but when ever I try to print something like a benchy it is good on one side but horrible on the other side. Also if I 3d print 3 benchys each one would mess up and would mess up the exact same way. Anyone know how to fix this? Also this is a new 3d printer and I was wondering if I would just return it.
hardened steel needing more heat ... and here i thought my thermistor was jsut off. thx for that info
I wasn't gonna buy the tool kit until you mentioned the gummy bears. 😊
I've recently been having the same kind of problem with my printer and haven't been able to figure it out. I think this might just be it! Great video as always! Thank you!
I Built My Own 3D Printer, First Print Came Out Flawless, Now my prints about 8 Layers In Looks Like little blobs here and there, Any Help would Be Much Needed, Thanks Yes I'm New To This, Already Learned Alot, Which Is What I Wanted.
It looks like you have a different fan duct than what comes with the MK3s. Which one did you add?
Thanks
Wait I thought you could blow your board using a wire brush on the hotend
Snap! Had the same problem with my Anycubic Chiron . 4 days into a 6 day print, frustrating to say the least. Turned out to be the PTF tube had distorted where it touched the back of the nozzle and effectively reduced the internal size of the tube to about 50% reducing the flow of PLA. Ended up switching out both the tube and nozzle and now its back to printing amazingly well. Thanks for another great video..
