Prusament Lipstick Red keep clogging
Hi,
I had the chance to order the extraordinary PLA pack and already print successfuly with four colours but Lipstick Red keep clogging. It can clog in a minute or an hour. When it clog, I eject the material, cut the tip and re-insert : print resume for a random amount of time.
I printed the same gcode (Prusament PLA profile) with the other Prusament colors of the pack and everything went fine.
Are you using a dedicated profil for Lipstick Red ?
No dedicated profile
Two suggestions:
Check your Z offset.
What did you print just prior to the clog? I have had a couple of clogs due to a higher temp filament that was not completely purged.

Thank you for the leads
I tried tuning my Z offset with this particular roll - up and down. Any other Prusament PLA I have just print fine with my regular Z offset setting.
I printed PLA before using the Lipstick Red roll. I also purged using another PLA but did not notice anything stuck. I will try to purge with PETG at higher temp.
Purge
Purging at a higher temp might help clear it.

Time to test it again
I purged with PETG, then set the temperature down and purge with PLA. Also cleaned all the hotend/radiator/extruder gears just to be sure. I have a Lipstick Red print running right now, hopefully everything is fine now ! Thank you for your support.
Still not perfect
And it clogged after one hour or so. I think I will put it on the shelf and print with something else for now.
RE: Prusament Lipstick Red keep clogging
I also tried to print at lower temp (200°C) with no success. Next time I'll try to print it with a 0,6mm nozzle...
