Re: PLA filament not extruding well

Hi my printer was working fine for a few weeks when recently it stopped extruding any filament and I have disassembled the extruder and found that the plastic tube inside the nozzle had become clogged I removed the clogged filament and re assembled the extruder and it worked for the first few layers of a small print then stopped extruding again, the tube was blocked again. Is there any thing I could do to resolve this problem.

This is becoming extremely annoying now and i'm starting to regret buying this printer :evil:

What's your nozzle temperature? Increase 5-10 degree to have a try.

If the nozzle is too close to the hotbed, filament cannot come out smoothly, it might cost clogging easily.
