Quick update. I used one of our other printers to print out the [latch jig mentioned in this thread](https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/hobbed-bolt-clogging-filament-stuck/1739/2) and adjusted the latch screws accordingly. I’m not sure of how much this will help, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Next: if there’s a clog, like my professor suspects, it’s either inconsistent in its cloggery, or just enough to screw up prints _sometimes_. And pull after pull, the hobbed bolt only seems to be digging in _so much!_ Just enough to push the filament, that’s what it looks like to me, if a bit tense. And of course, when it purges after loading a filament…

That looks normal! That’s what baffles me about all of this, is that parts of it work that you wouldn’t expect to work. The things that _don’t fail_ are the things we’d normally look at when a printer isn’t behaving correctly. And the things that _do fail_ almost feel like they have no rhyme or reason to their failure, unless it’s a needlessly complex problem or a super simple one that we’re overlooking.

**Edit: I screwed up in the slicer, disregard prior images**

I’m nearing my wit’s end… not saying I’m giving up, but man this machine is driving me nuts. I’m close to just taking a video of it and seeing if anything can possibly be diagnosed from that.
