okkk.. it seem thats i finally found why i always clog my extruder...

it's a temperature problem...

i always print at 190-195degC with my original filament... BUT with the pellets that i receive from OSprinting and with the sample of elmoret, anytime i try to use a filament made with them, i clog the extruder of my printer in the next 30-60 minutes of a print..

THEN i tried to use it at 175-180 deg C ....AND IT'S a WINNING MOVE.

perhaps i had cooked the plastic in the extruder with a higher temp then a little bit of hard cooked plastic has clogged my extruder...

i will do more test...
