Problem with fillamentium extrafill.
Hi all.
I always like the look of fillamentium extrafill vertigo galaxy and finally was able to pick some up from prusa shop.
I have a problem tho, it clogs the nozzle every time. No other filament does that even if i use it right after.
But when i try to use extrafill motor start skipping steps untill extrusion stops completly...
It happen ususally after 30-60 min into the print...
Anyone have any advice ?
Tried several temperature and retraction option but nothing works.
The nozzle is fine itself (original e3d hardened steel) and i have 0 issues with other filaments including carbon and copperfill...
RE: Problem with fillamentium extrafill.
I have the same exact problem. I have this on both of my MK3 printers. I have the extrafill traffic white PLA and hardened steel nozzle on both. I have messed around with speed, extrusion rate, temps, z offset to no success. Was there anything that helped you overcome this problem? I have heard that the hardened steel nozzles don't retain heat as well so I put a brass nozzle on one of the printers and still have the same problem. I go back to my esun PLA+ and other filaments with no problems. I have gotten this filament to print on an Ender 3 but I do sometimes experience clogs there as well but not as often. I am at a loss as to what to do about this. I have gotten a couple of parts to print but they have a very small first layer. It seems that the larger area the first layer covers the more likely it is to clog. My current guess is that over extruding on the first layer (its normal to have 200% extrusion on the first layer) is causing a backup in the hotend creating a clog. I will continue to play around with my first layer extrusion settings to see if that improves anything.
