Topic: Extrusion solution needed
Hey there. I'm sure some of you with more experience have come across this problem before and have words of wisdom for me.
I'm printing on a CR10 with PLA. Filament will not feed through the bowden tube into the extruder. Something is causing instant blockage each time I unclog and restart. I have tried a new nozzle, cutting a fresh end onto the bowden tube since it showed signs of wear, and disassembly/cleaning of hot end and feeder/rollers.
Sometimes, if I apply a bit of pressure to the filament as it feeds in, it will begin to print for a brief few minutes, but it stops each time. If I use manual controls via the control knob, I can get the filament to reverse normally, so I know the roller is able to grab and push material. Could the only option be a snag of some sort where the tube enters the hot end and meets the nozzle? Any advise is appreciated.
