Topic: Extrusion Issues - Stripped Filament
Issue appeared in the last two or so days, with no major changes to cause it.
I've switched over from a white SD Press filament to a black one.
So what exactly is the issue? Well, the printer manages to print the skirt and first layer walls, but when it goes to print the first bottom layer of the raft, a very tiny amount of plastic comes out. You can see this in the bottom corner of the attached image.
I've cleaned out the feed gear, it has had black filament powder on it a few times.
I originally thought the nozzle was clogged, but I've attempted to unclog via purging with an allen key.
I've re-aligned the feed gear.
I've tightened the feed gear.
The problem still persists. I've printed with this black filament before in the past with no problems, so I'm hesitant to think it's that. If it is the filament, could it be from it not being completely dry?
The filament has been getting gouged out pretty drastically, and it seems to be only occurring when the printer retracts the filament a little bit, since I can extrude larger lengths of filament out without any extrusion issues.
The bed offset has been standard across my prints, and shouldn't have changed, so I don't think this is the issue either.
Any ideas on potential ways to carry out fixes? I'm not sure what else I can check out. Any comments would be appreciated.
Edit:
I should add I'm printing at between 100-105C on the bed, and 230C on the extruder.
