Printing problem: filament stop extruding

I have a problem with my print, every time I print lately, the filament get stuck in the extruder. I remove the filament, and then reload it, and everything is ok. 
I have purchase cleaning finalement, pass a few time in it, and still not printing correctly.

This morning, have try a Cold Pull cleaning, it was print correctly for almost two hours, and then it restart to block. 
At this point, I does not know what to do next. 
I will try again the cold pull. 

The picture, is my first cold pull cleaning result.

Next time this happens, look at your unloaded filament.

The extruder should have a good "bite" on the filament, and leave tooth marks.

Barely marked - tighten the extruder tension screw one revolution.

Too tight, deep tooth marks - loosen that screw one turn.

Big chunk chewed out of the filament - clean your nozzle and / or print hotter.

This was of the result of never cleaning the nozzle, and many day of printing. The nozzle was to dirty, with a cold pull, the filament broke before the nozzle almost every time. 
I have try many thing, but never print hotter. 

now, I will clean the head after a few print.
