Shredder does not start

Hello Pascal,

Did you check if everything is closed and correctly in place? (Hopper and filter screen in place, and interlock guard door closed)

The following article describes more possibilities: Troubleshooting: When the shredder does not start.

Please let me know if you are able to find the cause or not!

Kind regards,

Timo

@timo Hi 

This is Tim from 3D FilaPrint - we are having the same problem - shredder switches on and the fan comes on - but the 2 main lights are not illuminating.  The machine worked for a good 20 minutes beforehand.  We switched it off to clean - all seems to have been put back in place correctly.

We have followed the troubleshooting guide from start to finish, including the main interior switch under the hood, which was set correctly and also tested the fuse, which is ok, but still no luck, the shredder will not power up.

Any ideas what to do next?

Thanks Tim

Hi @billyboyclyde,

This problem could be caused by the inductive sensors. I have sent you a private e-mail with a manual on how to check this. I am not sharing it on here, because it explains a way to bypass the machine's safety mechanisms 😊 .

@timo Thx Timo

@timo Hi Timo, we are having the same issue as @billyboyclyde. It feels as if there is an issue with the inductive sensors. Is it possible to get the instructions to check this as well? Thank you

@alxer

Hello @yusuf-mullari-se ,

I am very sorry about this situation.

I am going to send you the guide by email in just a minute.

Hi,

I have almost the same issue.

I just received the shredder. I use it 1 hour (700 gr PLA)

But now it does'nt work anymore.

The two green light are ON.

I press the green button 1 second, it light on and the red button turn off. But the motor doesn't rotate. And the two green light are still ON.

Same with reverse button.

(I waited 1h, the motors seems totaly cool)

Any tips or action to know where is the problem ?

Kind Regards

Dear @germainl ,

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation. 

I am very sory about this situation. That does not seem to be caused by the magnetic switches or the temperature, since both lights were green. 

This must be related to the inductive sensors. 

I will send you an email in just a minute. 

Please let me know if there anything else I can help you with.
