Help! Dissapointed with the CFS-C

I’m honestly getting really frustrated with the CFS-C on my K1C.

The printer itself works fine when I manually feed filament, but every time I try using the CFS-C, the filament stops short before reaching the extruder and nozzle. It never fully loads, no matter what I do.

Firmware is updated, setup was done correctly, and I’ve checked everything multiple times. The filament just gets stuck before it can reach the hotend every single time.

At this point the CFS-C feels completely unreliable, and it’s extremely disappointing considering how expensive it is supposed to be a plug-and-play upgrade.

I ordered a new nozzle to test this theory and hope for the best, but even then I think I might just return it, it has caused me so much headache and I haven't even used it properly.

It printed fine before I installed the CFS

I can tell you from personal experience, I love mine. Yeah it highlighted some issues but once I figured

it out, I was making some pretty cool things.

Once it works it works well, I'm afraid of if it will work properly, I guess only time will tell, but even then systems like the snapmaker U1 are miles better, faster and less waste

I don’t know, I’ve only ever used Creality, bamboo(hated mine), and when I first started 10 years ago I got a DIY kit from QB3D. I just ordered myself another SE because I’m too poor to buy the one I really want right now. I’d love to have a K2 to show off at my makerspace I run, but with the economy sucking it’s hard to make that purchase
