Help: filament feed getting blocked on a specific print
Hello, while printing a paint rack from thingiverse I keep getting jams. Can anyone give me a clue?
Here's a video:

I thought it was heat creep so I increased the speed and decreased the hot end temperature. It generally prints for several hours then jams.

Kind of difficult to see what's really happening in the video. It looks like a straightforward structure that should print as expected.
What kind of filament is that?

Maker Geeks Master Series PLA (Racy Red)

After double checking the specs on the filament I found the Maker Geeks PLA recommends 235 degrees hot end temp. I resliced with the much higher temperature and started another print. So far it seems MUCH improved.

235 seems very warm for PLA, but if that's what the manufacturer suggests, that may be quite helpful.

The temp surprised me too.
