I’m at my wits end with this heat creep. I started by printing with my enclosure open, then reduced temps, then replaced hot end, thermistor, heat sink, heat sink fan, and pint head control board. What am I missing?
what enclosure? Printing PLA in a closed with no venting enclosure will cause problems, nothing will fix that.
SE doesnt have heat creep as a standard bed slinger, so PID tune it, print at recommended temps (due to how fast it can print and extrude).
Honestly if you have changed the hot end then there is almost no way you would have heat creep up or down the hotend etc.
first of all thank you for your response.
“what enclosure? Printing PLA in a closed with no venting enclosure will cause problems, nothing will fix that.”
my printer is in my basement with an ambient temp of about 65f or below which is below the suggested temp for printing it was causing curling and print bed adhesion issues, the enclosure helped me manage that ambient temp better and it worked for about 6 months without any issues, but once again im not using it since this problem started.

thank you i was afraid no one would have an answer that i haven’t already tried. i did some research but nothing explained it in a way that made me think i could manually configure this but my printer does have and auto PID tune. i set the temp to 190, min for pla, and let it test itself but when i started printing it still failed about 10 min in which was better then what i was getting before. but still my filament is expanding in the PTFE tube and clogging.

i agree but here i am
