Is somthing clogged?
Hi, i have encounterd a problem with the printer that the pla curles around the nozzle/the part that actually melts the pla. The plastic curls even at preheat and makes prints impossible doe to the pla not comming off

Well, im my experience if it extrudes curved/curly like that, there's usually a bit of crud involved. A perfectly clean nozzle should extrude in a line straight down. My preferred way way of fixing this (and as a way of preventive maintenance on a regular basis, is to do "cold pulls" (also known as "atomic pulls" the "atomic method"). That should clear any gunk that accumulated in the nozzle.
Dang, looks like nobody made a tutorial for the MK2 yet. Here, Toms explaining here:

eSun makes a cleaning filament as well. I haven't had to use it yet, but I've read that the results have been good. This won't clean the outside of the nozzle, but if you have gunk that won't free up internally, it's worth a shot.
