I just got the printer yesterday, and have been doing several prints that have worked really well. Suddenly, during one print, the filament just stopped coming out, I researched a little bit a figured I had to take it apart. Then I found that the filament was stuck in the nozzle, so I pressed it out with a rod. It worked after that, but next the filament got stuck in the extruder, and I fixed that too. I just went to print something else, it worked for about 4-5 minutes, and then the filament got stuck in the nozzle again. I can pull the filament out, but no filament is extruding. What is the problem? I am printing with Hyper PLA at 220°c nozzle temp? Please help, thanks so much.
Check your tubing to make sure there are no obstructions - can you pull filament through the tubing easily? Also make sure your filament is not getting cross-threaded on the spool (ie: tangled underneath another strand …). Also make sure the tubing path to the extruder is not under a sharp bind … Do you hear clicking when the filament gets stuck or is it air-printing?
Is the extruder aligned correctly with the unicorn nozzle?
I hear clicking when it is air printing and I think everything is aligned probably as I have never taken the nozzle apart. The filament is easy to pull out and put in, but it needs a little force when you push it into the actual extruded
PLA should be printed with the lid off and door open to prevent heat creap
