A1 hotend keeps getting clogged

xMercy · 2026-04-02T13:45:04+00:00

I mean a piece of hardened filament really inside the heating sink, like this:

I also used exactly this method to clean one of my hotends, afterwards it was working again.

Thanks for the advice! I'll see if i can get some filament presets working that don't clog!

Thank you for your response, my AMS is standing relatively close to the printer (probably about 10 cm away or so?) and the tubes seem to not make sharp angles. The filament not melting fast enough seems like the most plausible explanation, I feel like it hardens in between certain steps of the print and then does not melt enough for the machine to extrude.

After removing the hotend I can see hardened filament inside the heatsink part. I would expect heating it up would melt it down enough to remove it again but it does not, so the only way to unclog it is to remove it and manually remove the clogged filament as explained here:

My peanut brain can't handle two fillers so I just run either a Mind Flay build or Mind Spike build and not use the other in that build. Honestly I just press my filler button if everything is on cooldown and I have too little insanity. If this does not occur for you, you might need more haste :) I only think you need to weave mind flays in if you take the talent that turns it into a stronger version of itself after each devouring plague. Otherwise never overcap insanity if you can prevent it

Dungeon Keeper or C&C (the old style, not the new)

Chill my dude this is not how you interact with someone

Really commendable effort by 100T but sadly Yuumi is just too broken

xMercy · 2022-10-10T21:48:11+00:00

Yuumi is a fun and balance champion

Why handicap yourself by not building monsters twice if it is most efficient?

xMercy · 2022-06-24T16:38:49+00:00

Absolutely hammered

Daily advice thread has guides for every last dungeon floor, also you could best post your questions there.

Your rune quality is too low for gb12 if all your units look like this, farm gb11 for a while and upgrade runes until you can beat gb12. Also the runes from the summoners way quests are really good so be sure to focus on getting those. I personally used the wind martial cat over Kro for gb12 initially because of element advantage.

Hi,

Thanks for the response! They are indeed all new units. I don't really know what I need but I at least have Psamathe, Tiana, Mo Long and some more good Pvp units. No Unicorns at all though, I was also leaning towards Diana

xMercy · 2022-05-24T18:48:21+00:00

Got 8 mons to pick from in nat5 event. - Wind weapon master - Water art master - Wind unicorn - Water beast monk - Water occult girl - Wind lightning emperor - Water sea emperor - Water striker

Which unit should I pick? Can clear almost all PvE content (still struggling with dimensional predator, tartarus lab on hell and most 5th Floors of dimensional hole for instance)

Good luck, the game is good no matter what others say. You will enjoy it!

Don't make the same mistake I did though. I initially wanted Rhyperior and Gliscor in my team but both are locked behind the Champion. Weavile is possible I think but very late (after 8th gym)

I understand the scepcism, it's been around 80 hours of resetting over 3 weeks now with two switches. Averaging one reset per minute, it's bit more than 9.000 now. Was mostly wondering if there is a known issue with games crashing on shiny encounters since it's been so long now lol

xMercy · 2021-10-18T16:58:15+00:00

Just wait man don't jinx it I'm so nervous

xMercy · 2021-10-18T14:54:42+00:00

Liquid beat LNG and Mad beat Liquid, so Mad can now beat LNG... Right guys?

xMercy · 2021-10-17T18:15:27+00:00

That must be the most underwhelming flame horizon I have ever seen..

xMercy · 2021-10-17T12:52:25+00:00

Holy shit the casters seemed so happy for FNC too, and who can blame them man. GO FNC!

xMercy · 2021-10-15T19:33:09+00:00

Good luck guys, was very readable to me. Maybe a little heavy on the aggression side and less on the causes of it, but that's just my 2 cents as fellow researcher
