When the printer reports a clog, is there actually a clog?

The printer uses a photo sensor and a half-round interrupter wheel located at the filament feed motor, just to the rear of the filament path. If this wheel isn't detected for a while the printer will report a clog, though not right away. Might want to check to be sure the small 2-wire connection at the feeder motor (plugs into the front side) is secure and observe the wheel to be sure it rotates during loading/unloading filament. Also, make sure there is nothing obscuring the light path at the photo sensor.

What else can I try?]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/149472/#p149472 Hi All. I have had the minimaker for a little less than a year. Prior to that, I used to print at a lab.
For the most part it has been a good little printer but recently I started on a large project and am halfway through and the mm started acting up.
It stops mid print stating there is a clog. I gone through the process numerous times over the past couple of says trying to unclog. I have followed XYZ vids, I have also tried the cold pull which I though helped .... but again stopped mid print. I have adjusted Z offset, calibrated etc. I have tried different spools of filament and all having the same problem.

The project I am woking on is several squares and rectangles 1 cm high and ranging from 1 cm x 1 cm to 10 cm x 10cm. At first it was only acting up on the larger squares. Now it cannot complete any.
It can however complete the calibration cube I use.

I also tried to print a small frog and now that is not printing properly all. I end up stopping it as it is NOT sticking to the bed. I typically use elmers glue stick which has always worked in the past but now it is not working. I have tried hairspray as well. What is up with this? Could the problem be the fan???? Or something else?

Any insight?
