Repeated clogging and repeated unclogging

Post by Technopagan »

As the title says my extruder is repeatedly clogging, I will unclog the whole thing including the extruder and the tubing which may or may not work for a minute before stopping again and removing the filament is extremely difficult, it was working perfectly for a few days then this happened.
When I unclog the nozzle there is a clear path through it but it is still not printing.
I think it may be heat creep (I use sunlu pla+ as that is what was given to me as a gift at a temp of 215) the plastic sleeve in the tubing should help prevent that right?
any help is greatly appreciated
Edit: the motor works fine but the nozzle is not clearing, even after I have used a small violin wire through the hope and it looks clear the filament still curls up as soon as it exits the nozzle, even after lowering the temp to 210.
