Prusa M201 Hot End keeps clogging

Post by Edvash »

Hello Geeetech.
I am using two Colorfabb PLA filaments on the 2-to-1 extruder, the hotend keeps doing one of the two:
a) Jams completely.
b) jams partially - and then only one color can be extruded.

whenever I raise the temprature try to unclog using this method, I end up melting the PLA inside the teflon tubing, however most of the time the clogs are arising from the hotend itself.

the temperatures are fine, and I can keep extruding using 1 color if I want, but this was not the whole point of the printer.

any suggestions?
