I was printing on this Ender 3 Regular 3D printer and everything was fine. On the next print it stopped working and no filament would come out. I'll show you how I resolved the issue.

My ender 3 v2 works half way threw a print but then stop feeding and just shreds the filament in half

I’ve been stretching my head over this problem for hours and it was driving me crazy!! Never even thought to stick the needle in there! Cleared it right up. Can’t believe it took me this long to figure it out! Thanks for the help!

I got my printer a few days ago and it's been driving me crazy with the fact that it won't extrude! Thanks for this tip, it helped a lot!

Thanks dude. Just bought an ender max neo and didn't realize
1. didnt push in the filament enough to the gears
2. didnt know about the lever (as it wasnt mentioned in the instructions)

You saved me

Tanks man, it was not exactly the same problem but helped me figure out mine, this piece was broken😅 I’ll buy a metal kit now

I have a problem on the stepper motor the 2nd screw "the silver one he got it aligned in the video" is lagging .. it stops moving randomly and making lots of gaps and very bad print quality does anyone have a solution for that?

My pulley was lined up but it would stop turning causing the gear to dig into the filament and start bucking. What I had to do was adjust the tension on the pulley screw until it started to continuously feed

I'm new to 3d printing and this was driving me crazy. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for the bit of information I needed but didn't ask for, I've been trying to figure out how to make it extrude filament without having to print, now it's easy to test it out.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

Amazing thank you. My cog was at an angle just like yours but it was due to the barrings falling out. Replaced the part and now it’s perfect. Been struggling for days before finding your video. Thank you 🙏

This was fantastic advice, fixed my issue right away on the Voxelab Aquila C2. Thanks for the video.

[bobrosslyfe]

This video helps my issue out. The filament was not lining up. Thanks for the info!

[onetwo]

Never occurred that this was the case for me. Thank you so much for this video!

[rileymccann]

Thank you much you just saved me I’ve been struggling and raging for hours

[TardSoftQB]

Hollyyy crap, I was about to sell this to my hobby shop but then this tutorial saved me… thank yiur

[iFalco]

So I have same issue as you, but my motors aren't aligned but still not pulling through. If I manually feed filament works fine, but how do I fix the motors if they're already aligned just not pulling?
Please help, spent 3 days going mental

Hello I just got my ender 3 v2 I have only made 3 good prints I also have the cr touch but now every time mid print it stops extruding and the a axis resets and moves up and stops moving. Any help would be greatly appreciated please.
