Filament caught or stuck

Hey So I am having a issue with my A1 mini where is starts the print prints for about an hour then cuts the filament a says to check if it is caught or stuck. I have resliced it four times and same problem.

I use Hatchbox PLA and am trying to print one piece in one color. Any solutions??

So, something to try, find a different model that prints for more than an hour, use the exact same settings and filament and see if it happens. I’ve had multiple models that have issues.

I have already printed three parts with the same settings but I will try your possible solution.
I will keep you posted.

It was the settings I did not think of looking at those. THANK YOU!!

I have a similar issue but more with an overlapping filament every once in a while which leads to getting stuck.
How to prevent this?

This is an issue with your filament spool itself, do you make sure to clip the end when not in use to prevent unraveling?

It happened with two PLA+ spools from Anycubic and I didn’t use a clip.

Not using a clip is your issue.

Okay, I will search for one and print it

Just so you know you can also just thread the filament through the holes in the side of the spool and friction will keep it from unraveling.
