Tangled mess of filament
Since yesterday my M3D printer using their filament has been making nothing but a mess! The filament starts off sticking to the bed but then begins to come out in fine spirals and doesn't stick to itself. I am using PLA at the recommended temperature: 215 for my red and 210 for white pearl. Prior to yesterday this seldom happened unless the filament bound on the roll (a totally different issue.) I am not sure how to disassemble the nozzle to see if there is something clogging it. I may check You Tube to see if there is anything showing how to do that. Meanwhile I am not sure if I should try increasing the temperature slightly or if there is a problem with the nozzle itself. I just made my first design and am very eager to see if it works. Very frustrated! BTW the black piece at the front is just a tape tab I attached to make it easier to lift the bed to clean it. I have buildTak and use Elmers glue stick and the initial lines seem to stick to the bed.
