<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Will not extrude @ .10/.20 but works fine at .40 layer height]]> 2014-07-21T04:05:00Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/topic/7024/will-not-extrude-1020-but-works-fine-at-40-layer-height/ <![CDATA[Re: Will not extrude @ .10/.20 but works fine at .40 layer height]]> My extruder clicks when I try to print at a fine layer height.. When the bed is too close to the nozzle, the filament will not extrude from the hot end. It's almost like trying to squeeze water from a water bottle when the cap is screwed on too tight.. A small adjustment to the bed height should solve this issue

What worked for me was to UP the temperature of the nozzle and bed.

im still on xyzware

i will try tighten the bolts just a little bit

i don't notice any clicking when it is trying to laydown the filament

.30 layer height works sometimes

.40 layer height prints out fine.

this is using stock xyz blue abs filament.

early this week i was trying out some 3rd party filaments if that helps any

any help is greatly appreciated.
