extruder skipping

I got a I3MK3S less than a year ago, printed only 3 spool of PLA and 1 spool of PET (all Prusament), I used only the default settings from prusaslicer (no mod of any settings)

Everything worked fine until two weeks ago where no filament came out at all.

I cleaned the nozzle (using the niddle shipped with the printer)

I replaced the Teflon tube

check all I can, but found nothing wrong.

 

Extruder still skipping when printing more than a hour.

 

Any ideas ?

RE: extruder skipping

I don't see that you've tried doing a cold pull to remove old filament from the nozzle.  Generally that's the best way to clean nozzle plugs.

I think I found the problem, sound silly but no more extruder skipping.

 

I unmounted the extruder one more time to see what is going on, but found nothing weird.  When a remount all I DIDN'T TIE THE SCREWS TO HARD, since that everything work fine, even printed a parts for 3h without any skipping.

 

WEIRD !

I connfirmed, no more problem with extruder skipping steps.

 

the screws I didn't tie to much are the two screws on the top back.
