good fellow, I have a little problem, I have the s3d with qidi and can print without problem, now I an left for a time, a sirius moebyus and connect putting it at home there is no problem, give it a warm bed and one estrusor and no problem charge filament nor, the problem I have when you start printing the piece does not come out filament, it is very rare, only leaves mini balls filament me and noticed that the wheel that drives the filament when printing not going down but not where the problem with s3d, because if I give charge filament there is no problem, see if someone can enlighten me on the road

and proven solutions and do not work give me https://www.simplify3d.com/support/prin ... t-of-print

Extruder was not primed before beginning the print
Nozzle starts too close to the bed
The filament has stripped against the drive gear
The extruder is clogged

Well my first suggestions would have been to make sure your extruder was fully primed before starting the print and also to check your first layer position. Honestly, 99% of the time when I have problems like what you mentioned, they are due to these 2 things.

Looks like those are mentioned in the link you posted

bonne CompoundCarl aussi pensé qu'il était à la hauteur de la couche comme dans de nombreux forums et a constaté que ce fut l'une des solutions, mais et imprimé à une hauteur inférieure du lit comme si empezase à la couche 2, mais avec ceux que je suis encore ayant le même problème, et le expulgado, si la charge filament pas avant de mettre imprimer sans problème et suivi par l'acte d'usage que je donne l'impression et me donne cette erreur est rare, maintenant garder les tests faisant, désolé pour la prise en contectar

good CompoundCarl also thought it was the height of the layer as in many forums and found that it was one of the solutions, but printed and at a lower height of the bed as if empezase to layer 2, but with those I am still having the same problem, and expulgado if the filament not load prior to print without problem and followed by the act of use I give the impression and gives me this error is rare, now keep testing process, sorry for taking contectar

The nozzle is too high! calibrate first

I put the nozzle higher than normal to see if the problem was for the calibration of the bed, that is not correct but it was to make the video and you can see that that is not the problem

I had this problem and it was due to retraction being set too high in the start gcode.

Go to the "Edit Process Settings" and the Scripts Tab. Then take a look at the starting script.

Look for something like "G1 E-10" This tells the extruder to retract. Your "E" value may be too high for your extruder. Initially mine was -30. I dropped it to -10.

This is just a guess. It fixed my issue. Hopefully you'll have similar luck.
