Update: Was able to remove the hot end and found the clog in the top broken off clean with the surface. Heated up a small allen wrench and shoved it in there. Let it cool then pulled out the clog. Then checked for flow by manually extruding. Funn thing is IT wouldnt stop extruding by either releasing the button or trying to switch directions. I ended up powering down the machine to stop the extruder. Is this normal?
New P1S. Only 150 or so hours. woke up to the machine printing the magic air filament. tried to use extruder from menu after hating nozzle. nothing. Tried using the poker thinking maybe it was clogged(it probably is). Nothing and poker came out clean. Trying to remove bowden tube and cant get it to release. I feel like im going to break it pulling on it and yes im pushing the clip down as much as i can. This might be the updated hot end? All the video I see dont have the little bracket that helps you push the clip down in them. Where do I go from here? I came from k1s to get the bambu experience. My other p1s has had no issues at 500 hours so far.
Thanks. Got the tube out along with the filament(looks like it broke off in the extruder) but still cant get the jam out. Going to remove the hot end and see if I can see where its jammed up
Another update. It clogged back up after about 20 minutes of printing. Im starting to suspect the filament but not really sure how to diagnose the issue. Ive only had this happen one other time on my creality k1. The filament i was using at the time turned out to be the cause for whatever reason. Back to taking it apart I guess
Its Creality rainbow rpla plus. I ran a roll of it through last week with no issues. I used my calipers to measure some of the line for about a foot or so and all within spec. I also dont see a specific profile for pla plus of any kind except esun brand on the slicer
This was an easy clog. Just pulled the ptfe and yanked it out. It was causing the extruder to skip before removing it. I can then reinsert it and manually extrude with no issues
You may be experiencing jamming instead of clogging. If the chamber temp is too high the PLA can soften and expand in the area between the extruder wheels and the nozzle, which causes the filament to jam before it enters the nozzle. You could see if printing with the door open and the lid off helps.
I previously ran a couple rolls of flashforge burnt titanium which is sparkly but im not sure if it contains actual sparkle particles or not. When I pulled this last jam which happened while manually extruding and the nozzle auto shut off it came out with some darker material on it(the rainbow is at an orange right now so shouldnt be dark). Ill try a test print like usual and then if it jams ill try it with the chamber opened up. thanks
