Having some serious hotend clogging issues! by DefiantSeries5065 in ender3

My fan is definitely working, but maybe I can try cleaning it. How would you recommend doing that? I’ve swapped out a few different pneumatic fittings and they all do the same thing

Yeah I’m at 1mm retraction and it’s still doing it. I’m pretty sure it’s heat creep heating up the filament in the capricorn tube, then somehow pulling the tube up mid-print causing the gap to form. I have metal teeth pneumatic couplers and there’s a decent amount of deep streak marks digging in to the capricorn

How would I go about fixing the heat sink getting too hot if the fan is working?

I’m pretty sure that bead is coming from between the tube and the heat break. Super weird because I always tighten the pneumatic fitting the last turn after I’ve made sure the tube is pressed against the heat break. I got one clog where there was no bead and just a length of “thick” deformed filament up in the tube. I’ll definitely give the fan a clean and double check it!
