Hatchbox PLA jams at 215 degrees?
I've been trying unsuccessfully to print PLA_3DHubs_Marvin_MM-Single_100um_1H.gcode in Single Material mode. The print jams about half way through every time.
I'm trying to use Hatchbox Transparent Yellow. This last time, I couldn't move the filament forward or backward. I disassembled the hot end down to the heat break and heater block without nozzle. I finally got the filament to come out. Here is what the heated end of the filament looks like. It looks to me that it melted well into the heat break. If that's true, is the 215 degrees set inside the gcode just too high for this filament?
Thanks.
(BTW, why is the unthreaded section of the heat break red?)
Re: Hatchbox PLA jams at 215 degrees?
I have been printing lots of Hatchbox (not transparent!) at 215/210 (first layer/rest). No clogs.
I have not tried transparent, but it does sound too hot to me. I have had less stringing at 210/205.
I do have a transparent red, but have not printed it yet.

Print a temperature tower to see if this filament prints OK at 200 or 205.
Start at 215 and decrease down to 185 degrees
