Kobra X newbie questions
My Kobra X came yesterday, and I have questions:
- I tried to change filaments, and the filament felt like it was jammed in the printhead when I tried to push the filament into the printhead to the point where it would beep. Out of desperation or brilliance I loosened the PTFE tube and worked the filament in there, at which point it beeped and everybody was happy. Question: is there some kind of trick to getting the filament past this sticking point? Cut filament at an angle? Sacrifice to Jobu?
- I saw something similar happen earlier today. A spool got tangled, because I was dumb. Note: filament tangle detection is off by default. I got one layer printed out of the 40 or so that was expected. So I pulled out the filament, untangled it, and went to put it back. Even though I had the spool unloaded and in my hand, the console said it was still loaded, with the same filament. I loaded the filament, and pushed it down into the printhead. I got no beeps, but the console wasn't complaining. So I turned it loose and it's printing fine. Question: am I looking at a detector failure, a setting that I need to turn on, or something else. The manual seems sparse, and I didn't really see anything about this on the internet.
