Ekocycle Issues

[Ideal_Nerd]

Have the printer level the print bed and then adjust the z-gap. if it is not level then the edges of the bed will be lower and the first layer wont stick as well.

I am thinking it is the heat issue. Our workshop(especially where we put the 3d printer) tends to be on the cold side. Tomorrow we will try and move it someplace less cold and use the rafts idea.

We tried different glues and make sure the gap and level is good before we print. The temperature makes a lot of sense though because it is sitting next to a drafty door and well we are in Michigan.

If you can avoid letting the heat from the machine escape. 3d printers generate a good amount of heat by themselves and by keeping it in, it can also help.

We've been fighting temperature issues as well. Here's the response I got from the Ekocycle support:

1. Please remove both cartridges without using the unload function and unplug the machine.

2. Wait about 10 seconds and plug it back in.

3. Now please go through the reload cartridge function for both (make sure the dongles are completely clicked in place) and rerun a print.

This will fix the issue.

We are having a temperature error as well.
Code: T14
Temp: 247C

We tried the suggestions you posted from Ekocycle support but it didn't resolve the issue.
Anybody have this issue and were able to resolve it?

Just called customer support and they said a key item is to make sure the dots on the print heads are lined up when they are installed. That did not resolve our issue but maybe that will work for others.
Also they said to try to swap the cartridges if that doesn't work. I will be trying that tomorrow.
