I adjusted my temp up to 200 Extruded to clear the clog until ABS filament was moving through smoothly. Tried to print again and it failed. I got two prints to work, then it clogs again on different models. Any ideas?
What is the thumb adjustment for on the extruder?
Could you provide pictures, layer height, stl model?
We need more information in order to help you out
Sorry about the Delay fighting off a bad cold the last couple of days.
The Layer Height it stops printing at is 3 or 4 as best I can tell
Print model is called Bangle from Tingiverse callsed Bio Bangle it's under the "Verified Section"
The Order of the photos:
Here it is sliced
My settings
Bed Before
Test Extrusion
Printing
This is all that prints - 2 photos
What does this dial adjust?
Compression force on the filament. Is that not readily apparent by inspection?
That is printing 0 layers, not 3. I am betting you need to level the bed and/or adjust the "z-tab". Google for how to do these things.
I can see filament dust everywhere. You need to remove that knob, swing the arm out, and clean the hobbed pulley, whose teeth are full of plastic shavings, I am sure. Then retry. That looks on the looser end, try compressing the spring mroe when you reinstall the knurled nut.
Since this is my first foray into 3D printing nothing is "readily apparent" to me. I didn't do anything I printed the object below one day then went to print a new object and that is what happened :-(.
IS the Ztab to tight and that is why its compressing?
I mean it's pretty clearly pushing on an arm that is pushing the filament against the motor shaft... but I digress.
The z-tab is the bolt on the back wall of the printer. Your question about it doesn't really make sense.
Remove the knurled nut and spring, swing the arm out, clean the teeth of the hobbed pulley, reassemble, then level the bed and/or adjust the z-tab as described through a quick Google search.

I did see the filament dust wasn't sure what it was or meant. I adjusted the Z tab to get my first print and I printed a pencil holder and the next model wouldn't print I wonder why.
I did all of that thank you and I am printing now its working ok with Z tab adjustment and I will level the printbed the next print.
Your last stament about no one responding because it's common is kinda sad. If it's so common why isn't it a sticky?
I do appreciate you taking the time to give advice. Everyone is a newb at some point.
