Sorry I ended up super busy last night. Tonight after I get back home from shopping, around 6:30 pm US CDT. I will make a quick video of what I have found with my A10M and my Creality Ender 3 on the extruder. I hope that it will. Also without the nozzle in force by hand some filament through. I had an ABS blockage once and didn't know it till I stripped some PLA in my extruder. Also I have been heating up to 250 on the hot end to clear blockages. You said that the filament was not very fluid. Could you show me a picture of 50 mm of filament pushed through the hot end at 210?

Sorry for the kids in the background. Here is the video from my Ender 3. The hot end setup is close to the A10. My A10M is busy printing.

Thanks for the video, I'll give a try tonight if not I'm planning to send this printer back.

So i've did the cleaning as you've show me on your video, it was literally clean, and i put the white tube all way down after cleaning and putting all things back.I did a test and again nothing comes out of the extractor while printing.Even i had screen fault while doing auto bed levelling, i've rewrite the firmware several times just to be sure that problems is not coming from firmware, but result always same!

One last thing to try is swap nozzles if you haven't done that yet. If you have then I would say something is wrong with the printer.

I cleaned all parts, as you say something is wrong. I've contacted geeetech seller for a solution and they say that they will send me some part of machine so it can work properly. I'll tell it here if my printer problem solved by changing some part of machine.
Best Regards.

Some of my first ones were like that. I thought I was running PLA at 220* 60* bed 100% speed 100% flow. Then I realized I was using ABS ??
For the bed sticking problem I am using Blue Painters tape And Hairspray. just spray a light coat before each printing. ABS am running 250* Noz. 80* bed 90% speed 90% flow.

Hello, what about your problem with the printer, could you fix it?
I’ve the same troubles with my A10M, the filament (PLA) did not melt and the feeder can’t drive the material through the hot end, so I increased the nozzle temperature step by step.
With a nozzle temperature at last of 230°C (for PLA!!!) the filament is melting, I think the temperature sensor of the hotend ins not working correctly because the same filament works in another 3d print with 195°.
I’ve tried contacted Geeetech and German support, but no reaction from both.
I’m real disappointed, I’ll send it back to costumer.
