Topic: very slow flow rate on my filament extruder

Hello Guys , this is my first post, today I turned on my filastruder but does not want to extrude at a decent speed , sometimes I happened to extrude up to 80 cm per minute , but now nothing I tried to change the nozzle, but with the same results , I think there is a balance to be kept between the heat of the screw and barrel , otherwise the material remains attached to the screw !!  Any solution ??

Re: very slow flow rate on my filament extruder

Need more information.

Material?
Temperature?
Hours extruded so far?
Vertical or horizontal?
Has the barrel rotated or is the pellet feed otherwise blocked?
What kind of nozzle? Melt filter or no?

There are many types of ABS, and you did not answer all the questions. I need data to be able to help!
