Thank you for the suggestion. I'll give it a shot.
My last attempt at fixing this, before I throw it away!
I bought a second Ender 3 to compare settings, setup, hardware, etc.
All menus are the same. The identical files are being used. Same PLA...
I'm onto my 3rd consecutive print, and getting better with each adjustment.
191 degrees nozzle
75 bed
70 flow
100% fan
That's a huge difference from factory settings where a full year of...
We're getting closer. Was able to print something (9 hours), but not without issue - blobs!
Then this morning, I'm getting more blobs. The nozzle catches
the high spots, and kicks the...
Looking for one last attempt before I toss this printer out the window.
After $150 in upgrades, shipping, etc. I'm still not getting anywhere. The entire printer is nearly rebuilt INCLUDING a...
Wanted to share some happy moments until about 3 hours ago.
As you see I replaced the feeder and hot end. Last night yielded the best print ever with the
upgraded parts.
Then an attempt for a...
Replaced the entire hot end assembly and new bed cover. Printed about 30% of the file, then jammed again.
...
Not much luck. I've out it aside , but need to order new parts from the feeder onward.
New fittings , tube, nozzle, and bed cover at a minimum.
I've also reviewed the Cura settings, but...
Seems like your theory is holding up.
I turned down the nozzle temp. from 200 to 185, and maxed out the fan speed.
The tube was cut back to remove the expanded portion and restore the...
I think you may have nailed the issue.
I'll try the mod and ensure the tube end is sitting flush, with a clean cut end.
Maybe increasing the fan speed will also help cool the tube and prevent...
Thank you again.
This morning I removed the nozzle and let the printer feed PLA for about 5 minutes. There was no jamming, or skipping at the feed gears.
So I think the feeder motor and gear...
A while ago, I took apart the printer due to a jam, and periodic mis-printing.
The epoxy/ceramic around the nozzle, and the Teflon wrap was chipped away and no longer part of the print head.

Thank you Gambo for the detailed reply.
I'll give it a try once my printer is functional once again!A while ago, I took apart the printer due to a jam, and periodic mis-printing.

Thanks for the ideas.Leveled it a couple of times, but no luck. I'll try a tighter bed-to-nozzle clearance.
Hey Guys,
I have an Ender 3 with a completely stock setup.Recently, I had a jam in the print head and had to remove the nozzle. The "ceramic/epoxy"(?) and "teflon"(?)strip around the nozzle...
Hey Guys,No luck with the PETG thus far.
I'm using the exact same settings for the hardware, and file except temperature is 235 Nozzle, 80 on the bed.I'm noticing the PETG is not adhering to...
Thanks.
The PETG spool arrived yesterday. Going to give it a try and then test the sample in direct sunlight.
Awesome, I"ll order some immediately and give it a shot!
Thanks for the quick response.
I'll try the new settings you suggest, but I'll definitely add an enclosure. I've seen many ABS
printers that are built purposefully with glass doors, and encased...
Good Day Everyone,
Searches are providing several hits, so please excuse if this has been answered previously.
As you'll see in the photos, the ABS material is shrinking rapidly. I'm aware...
