AD5M Pro Problems

Hello everyone,

So as of I wanna say 3 - 4 weeks ago (could be longer I don't remember), I finally got into the 3d printing game and got myself an AD5M Pro printer, it was working fine for the first two days I got it, then out of nowhere I got a clogged extruder problem, I managed to fix that and then I got a y-axis go home error and as of this writing have solved that issue, but now I'm having an issue where my filament won't load into the extruder and every time I try to load it, the filament guide tube makes a weird noise like clicking whenever it's trying to load the filament and will say the loading is completed but it isn't and I did a test print recently but no luck, no filament comes out.

I'm actually stuck right now and looking for help from anyone that can help me with this issue, please and thank you.

Switching Careers to Train Conductor questions

Hello,

So as the title states, I am looking to switch my current career to being a train conductor, the only railroad in my area that I can go for is Amtrak and I had a few questions about getting hired after submitting the application.

For context my current career field is in Private Security and I have at least a minimum of 2 years experience in this field.

My official work history is as follows:
Restaurant Busboy - 5 years (pre-pandemic)
Theme Park Ride Operator - 1 Year
Expo Booth Attendant - 1 week
Parking Attendant - 3 weeks
Security Officer (Current) - 2 1/2 Years

I am in the LA Area, so I can get to Union Station for work when needed.

My main questions are:
Will my work experience be enough to be selected to move forward?
If I am selected, what if anything should I be doing to prepare/help me be able to get a conditional offer to work for the railroad I applied for?
Should I even consider trying to work for Amtrak at all?
What should I expect if/when I do get hired to work at a railroad with absolutely no transportation experience or railroad experience?

I appreciate everyone's responses to my question, thank you so much.

Hello everyone,

So, recently I had to fix on my 5M pro printer a clogged extruder error as well as a temperature sensor error on said extruder and completely disassembled and reassembled my extruder, now after firing up my printer again after these were fixed I'm now getting an x-axis go home error, for context I have also lost a couple of screws as well that are for the printer, so that may also be a part of it, but I do want to fix the x-axis error so I can use my printer again, so any help would appreciate it please and thank you?
