Taulman T-Glase printing problems

Hi, I'm having trouble with the T-glase getting clogged(I guess) in the extruder. I can get the print to stick to the bed and print just fine but  after an hour or two of printing it just stops extruding so I started to play with the settings and had a few questions. I'm using the standard settings inside Prusa slicer 2.10 for Taulman T-Glase, when I read the instructions for printing from Taulman they say use 3-4mm retraction but is that in the filament settings or the printer settings and is it for retraction length or Z lift?

I'm guessing the extruder is clogging although I don't have to clean the nozzle to get filament to extrude out when I restart the print so I'm not sure what it's doing. I normally just use the presets and haven't really messed with the settings so I'm just kind of fumbling about.

Thanks for any advice.

I don't have any photos, I tried the 240 preset and I also tried 245 with no luck. I also went into the live tune settings and set the speed at 50 for both of those temps.

I tried the settings from this post and the print stuck to the nozzle after a short time.

The first print was doing pretty well at 240 and then about half way through the print it just stopped extruding, I have been trying to figure out where to input the 3-4mm retraction setting from the Taulman website but haven't really played with settings before and I'm sure about how to do it.

I just tried it using .35 layer preset for mk2.5s and Taulman T-glase preset inside purse slicer 2.1 and this is what happened on first layer.

Take your bed and clean it with dish soap and warm water, using a soft sponge or something non-abrasive.  Alchohol works for spot cleans, but it's always good to get a good clean on it with a grease busting soap (imo).  I had the same issue and this fixed it.

I got it figured out, I didn't have any problem with it not sticking to the plate, The nozzle kept catching on the print and pulling it up. I had to slow it way down to 15mm sec and add 3mm retraction to get it to print but the biggest problem was I think the filament was getting stuck while unwinding from the spool so it would stop extruding. I unwound about 40 feet of the  spool and rewound it and I haven't had a problem since doing so.

Glad you got it working! Have you been able to print a decent benchy with it? My Benchy's are struggling with T-Glase.
