Kywoo Tycoon 3D - Impossible to print after using PETG
Hey Printers,
im new to this forum and hope you could help me :)
Im from germany and uses my 3D printer for boardgame and smarthome stuff.
It is my first 3d printer, its a Kywoo Tycoon 3D printer.
Before i used to print some halloween things with glowing PETG, everything was fine and i was able to print with good results PLA.
For PETG i increases the nozzle temperature from 205° up to 235° and the bed temperatur from 60° up to 80°.
The result was pretty nice, with the same settings in ultimaker i was able to print some skeletons, bats and spinders with a good and smooth surface.
After that i switched to PLA and noted that my z-offset no longer fits. So i first use the paper-method to roughly determine the distance. After that i printed some one layer squares to determine the exact distance.
I noticed that the extruder gear maked some clicking noice, and i stopped the print. The PLA no longer adhered to the bed and the nozzle was apparently clogged.
At first I thought the gear was broken because it is made of soft copper. As I couldn't find the gear separately, I ordered the dual extruder with two gears. After installing the dual gear...same clicking.
It seems as if too much PLA is being conveyed and the nozzle is clogged, resulting in a PLA jam.

New 0.4 nozzle(s) installed
Test Prints:

Leveling test - 0.2mm thick
Attachment 19331
Flow test - each wall 0.4mm thick after setting flow to 94% because my line with is 0.4mm

Strining test - some ticker strings on the inner sides

PLA - PLA rest from the nozzle after clicking and PLA jam.
At first I thought it was the PLA, but after I changed it, it got much better. But with each layer, PLA seems to build up and it starts to click (gear no longer grips and no longer feeds PLA).
I can't print anything with the standard profile from Kywoo Tycoon for PLA, I created an Ultimaker profile from the Enders 3 V2, which was used to create the test prints.
Does anyone have a guess as to what the problem could be? Could my hotend be damaged so that it is not heating constantly?
