I have checked and triple checked the filament.
I took things apart and the nozzle was good.
the hot end hex piece had some debris in it, i drilled that out.
on this piece here
should i be able to push a piece of filement all the way through it? i cant right now.. if i need to be able to, ill drill it out a bit more.
thanks

yeah, there is a ridge inside this piece, down near the threads, about 1/4 of an inch up inside..its all the way around the inside of the barrell too. i cant push a filament piece past it. of course i dont have a drill bit that matches that hole perfectly to bore it out. or should i even be doing that?
i cant imagine it isnt 100% necessary to free that debris.

I have seen that happen. I have a roll of PLA that needs 210 degrees and if it is a long print and the nozzle is only putting out a tiny amount of filament... It can plug. And the other thing that happens is after a print, the printer shuts everything down. Half the time I have to extract the filament and cut off a few inches because it ends up being too big to feed through the extruder. The good news is that roll is almost used up!!!

I have the same problem on my printer that is in my garage. When it is over 95F outside, I can not print. I usually try printing when a storm blows thru and the temp drops to about 75-80f. I am in the process of making a machined part to add water cooling. I'll post if it works out well
Printing time- Is this right?
