Underextrusion /clogged nozzle after Ironing with 0.25mm nozzle.
Is there a way to prevent underextrusion /clogged nozzle after smoothing with a 0.25mm nozzle?
I recently printed a small mold but had a clogged nozzle after every ironing pass.
I managed to print it succesfull to " do a filament change" and let it purge after every ironing pass.
Is there a way to prevent this?
Filament
Prusament pla mystic Brown.
All stock prusaslicer setting.
In my experience even printing without ironing on a normal 0.4mm nozzle the chance of a clog is greater with Mystic Brown. I had to up the temperature somewhat and live with a bit of extra stringing to reduce it and even then it still did occasionally.
Even with a forgiving filament, ironing unless perfectly tuned for flow percentage and speed is greatly at risk of clogging. Its one reason that Prusa took so long to actually implement it. I wouldn't have even tried ironing with mystic brown. Couple that with a 0.25mm nozzle and its almost certain to clog.
mystic brown.
Concur and Mystic Brown is tough to print or at least every roll I have owned.
