I have used my inventure a few times and noticed after a haitus that it now produces parts that are stringy, like spiderwebs. This didn’t happen before.
I cleaned the heads and teflon material at the extruders and it still seems to do this. This stringiness appears both on the part material and the support.
more info - I use Zortrax material cartridges, Z-PETG and the Support Premium is what was shown here.
Any idea what could be causing this and how I can fix this?
Anyone have any thoughts?
Hi Mike,
Could you provide a .zcode file, please? Also, does the same issue occur while printing other models (possibly with other materials)? How many hours has the printer done so far?
Best regards,
Karolina

Uploaded here. Both use theSupport Premium and Z-PETG. I haven’t tried switching out the materials, but I assumed since both support and parts were stringy, whereas previously I didn’t see it happen in the first few prints I did months ago, I assumed it as not a material problem.
I’ve maybe printed about 10-20 small prints on the printer so far.
The system is now giving me a Error 140 and won’t hear up the extruders. I checked the fan on a power supply and it runs fine.
I noted 2 threads below mine that someone had the same error pop up, which indicated something more systemic than something wrong with the fan… I wonder if there is some issue with the PCB?
Hi Mike,
Thank you for the files and additional information. There might be a problem with proper cooling, especially that the error #140 occurred now. Please, fill in the support form so we can provide you with further help. However, if the fan itself is operational - yes, either the extruder PCB or extruder cable might be at fault.
