  • Your plastic is jammed. I think the clicking sound is from the extruder moving, but since the plastic is stuck, it compresses a mil or two before springing back and compressing again.

    Your jam might be in the hot end. Heat it up really hot, pull the plastic out, and clear the nozzle with a fine metal pin. If that doesn’t fix it, you might need to replace the nozzle and reseat the bowden tube against the nozzle, making sure the end of the tube is cut very straight and perpendicular.

    Hope that helps! This happens to me too from time to time.


  • There is exactly one firearm on the market that has reliable fingerprint/facial ID. It’s made by a company called Biofire, and it starts at $1500.

    People who have children in their house can choose to buy one, but no one should rely on this sort of safety mechanism to stop their kids from killing themselves. Education and a simple gun lock works perfectly fine for kids and standard firearms when taught/used correctly. There’s nothing wrong with layering safety like with the ID features in Biofire’s gun, but requiring these features by law is just unnecessary, short sighted, and prices put poor people from arming and defending themselves.
