Good luck

That seems to have fixed it. I have a print going now and the temp is stable. Thanks!

After lots of success with my printer it is now giving me some grief. My last prints have been failing about 10-15mm above the print bed. It appears that the extruder is getting clogged, the filament will quit extruding but the print head continues its path and then in this last print it came back to start extruding all over the inside of the printer.


I have:
Cleaned the print head using the small gauge wire supplied by XYZ
Reloaded the cartridge and it extrudes fine
Ensured my bed is calibrated and not contacting the nozzle

Any insight on what to do?
