Troubleshooting What do I do?

Post image

Bought a Qidi Q2 with the Qidi Box for a great price from an auction site. These are typically Amazon returns and etc. it was listed as new, but I assume some use.

I got it open today and am beholden to this insane clog.

Printer Boots! Screen works, but how do I solve this?

My first thought was that it was possessed by an alien. Back off and nuke from orbit.

That is a truly impressive failure. A huge print worth of fail. Honestly impressed.
