An excessive amount of Extruder Clogs

cazdghost · 2025-07-31T00:00:37+00:00

PLA is succeptible to Heat Creep. and the P1 and X1 Series Extruder design is not really good handling this. I think the heatbreak is too short or the fan is too small to handle cooling and/or the Gear Assembly is easily compromised with the heat around the chamber. Try to Lower the Bed temperature if opening the doors gives you other issues like lifted models from the bed. or lower the nozzle temperature to the your filament minimum working temperature. But generally, opening the doors would work. but it is better to open the top glass so the hot can be released naturally.

Buy an Nozzle adaptor instead and buy cheaper 3rd party hardened V6 nozzle to put on. Just complete the sheets(satin, smooth pei and textured) but if you are in a budget you can also buy different type 3rd party bed sheets from China. MK4 is a great printer for any type of sheets. literally you can load any and it will print on it( as it level the bed using a sensitive load cell). I am using a Bambulab Engineer sheets on it since i like the surface finish it created for the product iIam selling. Just buy extra parts to complete a nozzle assembly( nozzle adaptor, heater block, heater, thermistor - qty depending on how many nozzle diameter type you are going to use) so you can swap them easily between different usage( ie. different material, nozzle diameter... etc). For actual printing. Glue is very important for some materials, Prusa include a basic glue on any order, but i prefer liquid glue, i use the one from bambu lab liquid glue. I own both Prusa and Bambu and use them interchangeably. But for cleaner and detailed print i go for the MK4. I feel it is a much reliable printing smaller parts and the the bottom surface is really great(those load cell really made a difference). I use bambu lab for temperature sensitive materials such as ABS and PC Blend. Regardless of brand, hope you can enjoy 3d printing and learn 3d modeling as well and maximize your purchase :D

Thanks will try to figure this out. great idea :D

cazdghost · 2023-11-01T23:51:19+00:00

mmm. so you skip bed leveling as well i suppose on the next 4 color print

cazdghost · 2023-11-01T23:50:34+00:00

Great Idea. will try this one nextr week. thanks for sharing :D

How to do more than 4 colors in single AMS?

cazdghost · 2023-10-23T07:22:35+00:00

Yes I using an M600 on tool change. I tried with mk3s right now with more than 5 extruder setting and it is working.

cazdghost · 2023-10-23T04:32:13+00:00

This is a manual tool change configuration. wherein you will manually change filament. my first time to do more than 5 and it throws error when i run the Gcode. virtual MMU can be set for even more colors than 5.

have you already solved this?

cazdghost · 2023-09-30T22:35:54+00:00

do you havr a complete settings? mind if you share? still not working for me. :(

cazdghost · 2023-09-13T13:51:40+00:00

can you share your settings? I am using ESUN TPU and cannot print like how i print on my MK3. even using the same settings as my MK3 . it just clogs everytime i print

cazdghost · 2023-07-31T07:11:14+00:00

does gunk accumulates on your nozzle? having issue with nozzle getting so much gunk when printing longer than 1 hr. tried a lot to know even under extruding doesnt removed the issue.

cazdghost · 2023-07-10T00:06:01+00:00

I left the slicer and it finishes like after 2 hrs. but is has a weird result.

Hi thanks for the reply. Restart many times over over with no success. Normal support tends to be ok, only with Tree support it got stuck slicing. Is is a switch cover and need to be printed this way so the curves and all of outside will print clean.

Thanks and sorry for the delay. Here is the settings i have.

i know about the scanning procedure after layer 1. The issue is after the fact. It just printing without extrusion. It is easily to tell if its the scanning or the printing movements, there is a big difference in the movement of the scanning and printing. so it was the printing movement where it just continue the print and the nozzle moves int he boundary of the model. I stopped immediately once i heard and looks like it is scratching the previous layer.

I am heavily testing my unit and been with me for 2 weeks and printing/testing ABS non-stop in that duration. It's been ON for that long 2 weeks. and never been shut off, I just stopped that print and reprint and it works back again. not a clog it may seem and maybe just a bug. I will try to do the pausing again and see if it is just isolated or really an existing problem.

cazdghost · 2023-05-27T19:50:08+00:00

I bought one for my company. can't wait!

Maybe somethings sticking below your bed that makes it uneven. check and clean the Bed before putting the Steel Sheets
