Hi!
I am printing an object and the print always clogs halfway through the third layer… The exact same spot every time. Is there a reason this may be happening? I can print other objects higher than the third layer to completion. I am using HS + 1.2 mm head, a Taz 6, and ABS filament. I am using supports and the default printing temperature of 265.
You should try to diagnose what is causing the clog. I don’t have any specific advice because we don’t know what is causing the clog. It could be a lot of things.
I am running into the exact same issue. It’s so frustrating! Please let me know if you happen to find out what the problem is or even a solution. Thanks in advance.
Clogs are a symptom, not a cause.
Turn off retraction. If that fixes the issue, your retraction settings don’t work with every other setting.
Slowing the print can get you through, but it’s usually not the causing factor.
Speeding the print up can help if it’s a heat-creep issue, but can cause other problems that cause clogs.
Try different filament, but that is introducing a dozen new variables.
Big thing is change only one thing at a time to narrow down the cause. Test prints and towers are great tools.
Generally the first two layers are done at a slower speed than the third layer, so if you’re printing too fast for your material, this is usually when related errors begin.
What is the accompanying issues with the clog? There is stripped-filament-induced clogs, clogs from the nozzle not being tight enough leaving a gap between the hot and cold end tubes…
