Maybe a more info would be helpful. When you say it kept spitting out filament? Do you mean it was not moving X,Y 0r Z and it was “extruding” material?

Did it do this above the model or off to the side? What kind of material? and any photos of the issue?

If two different slicers are having the same issue, it sounds like a mechanical problem. If the nozzle is up to temperature and the extruder motor is moving, but no filament is coming out the nozzle then you might have a clogged nozzle.

Here’s our guide on how to fix that: [https://www.lulzbot.com/support/unclogging-tips](https://www.lulzbot.com/support/unclogging-tips)
