RE: Keep getting a filament stuck message on my MK4S

Yes, raising the temp helps slightly but only delays the problem, if you are lucky. Printing with PLA+, I've tried going up to 250 which is the upper recommended limit, and it still got the filament stuck error.

I've swapped the nozzle for a brand new one from Prusa and the problem went away completely. The previous nozzle only had about 20-30hs of printing with PLA, PLA+ and PETg, but after removing it and comparing it with the new one is shows signs of deformation around the hole. I have really no idea how that could happen, but it was obviously the cause of the problems. Filament was overextruding, leaving uneven layers that would then jam the filament when trying to print the next layer.

That's odd. No abrasive or silk filaments? 

I've easily got over 1000 hours on the same nozzle printing PETG and it still looks pretty new other than being discolored.
