Luckily, problems with the feeder are usually easy to resolve. To learn more about under-extrusion, please take a look at this page.

This means that the feeder is currently experiencing too much friction while feeding material through the printer. There are several possible causes for this, so we recommend that you take a look at this page for more detailed information. When the material gets flattened by the feeder, the feeder can sometimes get blocked up with small filament particles. In general, when this happens, it means that the material you are adding to the printer has been ground down by the feeder. Follow this step-by-step guide in order to properly resolve any grinding issues that you may be experiencing with your Ultimaker and get back to the business of printing once again.

Any ideas? From your description I would say it is the fan. Check the middle fan, it is the one in the door which start automatically when the print core is heating up and hotter than 40C or 50C. Maybe it is blocked by some filament strings or so. I found that the wires going to the sensor for active leveling were broken.

I resoldered them. Then I still had a problem with active leveling until I uncompressed all three springs on the build plate. After that, I did a manual leveling. Then I was able to do active leveling. Now printing seems to work again. The bed springs should be not too soft and not too hard. If I remember correctly the distance between the two aluminum plates should be 14mm, not exact, round about There is definately a problem with the middle fan.

Automatic leveling works when I unplug the fan. From my search, I see it is called an axiel fan I am still confused why a working fan can mess up the leveling sensor. I assume it would be best to replace the fan. Unfortunately the fan seems to be discontinued. Any suggestions or comments? And when leveling works without the fan, then you probably have a damaged fan cable. The fan creates a lot of interferences when a wire is damaged which causes problems with the capacity sensor used for the leveling process.

How hard would it be to splice in new wires? Do you think shrink tubing on the wires might solve the problem? I would use multi tread silicone insulated wire, more expensive -but will never break! If it’s done right. However, check that it is this “wire intermittent issue”, if not, -this can be EMC noise from the internal inverter inside the fan. Jls I have the fan available here. It’s in stock and available to ship today. In regards to how the fan relates to the active leveling If your fan cable is pinched or damaged, it can create electromagnetic interference while the fan is running, and that interference can disrupt your active leveling readings and cause active leveling to fail.
