So I have a Yousu silk pla rainbow which my ender 3 v3 hates!
When extruding at 190ish, it comes out pretty thick! Up the temp to 250 and it gets better but still not extruding like the other pla spools I have.
Today, while printing a temp tower, I realized the nozzle temps drops (I don’t know suddenly or gradually yet) after print starts and 5 or 6 min into the print the extruder starts skipping filament.
I’ve tried several times changing the flow rate, speed, temp, etc. still, not working. BTW, It’s the only filament that’s causing the issue.
Silks can be a pain, they hate line twisting, and heat creep can occour with short moves and alot of retracts… I find it likes to go a bit faster, 190 is my goto temps as higher temps seem to give me a lot of striging with silks. But faster does mean less layer adhsion. silks can also be a bit brittle with thin walls.

Thanks for the reply. Just as an update, the filament stuck in the extruder twice and I stripped both screw mounts on the motor while trying to clean the extruder.
I’ve used two longer bolts to connect the extruder to the motor and double nut them, since I couldn’t find a reseller that’s sends the kit to my country.
I haven’t tested my repair yet and am about to contact support asking if they can send me one.
Anyways, thanks again for your help.
