I ran a quick test of the extruder by having it load a new spool which should heat up the head and then start oozing the plastic stream. But the head couldn't get past 22 C or room temperature.
The LCD says it best: "PLEASE WAIT". So now I wait.

I started a 3D print on my Davinci 3D printer last night and went to bed. In the morning I expected the design to be complete. Instead it was half done. The Davinci 3D printer showed the build complete on the LCD but it clearly had stopped issuing plastic half way through the build. I ran a quick test of the extruder by having it load a new spool which should heat up the head and then start oozing the plastic stream. But the head couldn't get past 22 C or room temperature. I read through the warranty card and it says the extruder is covered for 180 days. I bought mine 40 days ago. So I sent the serial number and the details of the failure to the email on the warranty card. I have been building stuff just about every day so its been working fine but now its dead. The LCD says it best: "PLEASE WAIT". So now I wait.
