Topic: Filament choking up

Ok so I have been doing lots of tests but my printer keeps choking up the filament when printing.

I have a clean glass bed with fresh glue on it. I recalibrated the bed so it's a succes.

When I start a print the extruder does a test line which he does fine but once he starts on the actual print it's choking all around the extruder and the filament becomes a little ball.

I did try to reload the filament, try other filaments but no succes so far... Could anyone help me out fast please? I have a project with a short deadline.

Re: Filament choking up

Lay a straight edge across your bed. I bet you will find the glass is warped and lower in the center.
