Hey @michaelelandry, this is a known issue and they work on it.
I´m not sure, which machine do you have?
The problem is that the touchscreen could not disconnect the drive like windows “throw out”.
The drive has to be formatted in fat32, i think too big drives and maybe even USB3 make problems.
I have my A350 not yet so i could just think about it.
There are several other threads for example:
Hi everyone! I have a problem in the filament change:
I remove the old filament and when placing the new one it does not come out through the nozzle. I have pressed the button on the front and I have to make a lot of force to press it; but I don’t mind it coming out the end.
I will appreciate any advice to solve this problem

You are supposed to press the button on the front when you insert new filament. It does take a bit of pressure to press the button, you are not doing anything wrong
Newbie here. Working hard to learn quickly, but I’m stuck.
I’ve had a lot of trouble getting the print to stick to the bed. I’ve tried all the tips in the FAQ. Support said to try taking the initial print speed down to 8 mm/s.
But wait there’s more…
The start of the print where the excess filament is wiped on the side of the bed… it comes across too high now and I have to quickly knife off the filament.
I keep trying to print more and more simple prints to get something to work, but there is always an issue resulting in the filament bunching up around the nozzle.
Now that I’m through about every youtube video available I’m at a loss.
It is almost like the machine is losing accuracy between calibration and printing… or at some point during printing. I’ve tried tightening screws even. Ugh!
Anyone have a print that I can try that would really help debug things or something?
Hey @domainerdrew, it seems your filament didn´t stick to the previous layer, is this right?
What speeds and temperatures did you run?
Which slicer did you use?
I have a bit understanding problems of your post.- You faced your leveling problem and it work now, right?
ok, you have to do more bed calibration
be shure there is no filament on and out of the nozzle, the calibrate again. This is a bit tricky at the beginning of 3d printing but if you know how it works, next times are easy.
I use the build in calibration with the provided card and online instructions.
It is pretty dry, the room uses baseboard heat At first the room was cool. However, I was worried the filament was cooling to quickly so I took the rooms temperature up to like 78.
Clear your printplate to make it sticky.- Even gluestick is allowed.
Print the first layer with 10-20mm/s.
First layer height could be 100% if you print 0,2mm layer height.- i would recommened 0,2mm to start.
First layer width, 120% is good if you have sticking problems.
Bed temp,- I use 60°C most of my prints.
Print speed for the rest of the print, depends on filament, 40-60mm/s recommened.
Filament temp. For the original 190-210 works great for me the most time.
Hope this helps!
I’ve seen a lot of videos that have said they use glue stick… I just was really hoping it wouldn’t be needed on a brand new machine. Seems like a bit of a failure for it to be needed.
Has anyone ever created like a silicone cover or something? Something that has some tackiness to it?
