Filament transport - looks like a snake swallowing a mouse
My filament looks like this. It always starts great. After a while it makes "klack, klack" and it won't transport anymore.
I exchanged the Teflon tube, but it did not help.
I made the screw at the transport rail loose and tight. But it did not change anything.
Do you habe any idea why I cannot print properly? Somethings seems to clog the filament.
Many thanks for your help

So, pictures are cheap and the add media button is also free to use.
Post a picture eh?

6th attempt to post a pic
I will check ony PC. Probably the forum does not work on Android.
As my Prusa printer ....
I bought a new extruder for €€€
Honestly, I ordered a fully new extruder for a lot of money.
After replacing the Teflon tube and a new heatsink I don't want to spent more money for a garbage printer that won't work and takes a lot of time ...
I bought it to print and not to take the time for finding errors.
My hope is that after full extruder replacement, it will work. Otherwise I will sell the Prusa and buy a cheap Ender which might not be such a financial pain when it doesn't work.

Moderators rarely delete anything other than spam. unless requested to do so.
future posts should not need moderation. Christof.

Thanks Joan.
I have seen it now. It was not very intuitive to post a pic.
Now I have seen that it is not enough to just add media and post it - I need to copy the url and click on the add pic icon. Only then the pic is posted.
I haven't seen this (it is a little complicated - perhaps because I use Android).
No offense!

I revisited your post, above Christof
whilst I was editing the post I could see the image, but when I finished editing and posted the reply, the image disappeared
I noticed that there was text before and after the image that didn't print either...
here are some clips...
I hope they display...
I don't know how they got there, but when I removed them, the image became visible!
