Can't get XL to nozzle clean or bed level with PP filament on ANY of the printheads.
Driving me nuts... Regardless of which printhead i load the filament on, if it's Polypropylene, it won't get pass cleaning the nozzle and if I ignore the cleaning stage, it won't get pass the bed leveling.. (just goes in little circles around each point then gives up...
If the filament isn't PP, the everything works fine...
nozzle isn't oozing..
nozzle is brushed clean before it starts.
I'm using the Prusa PP build plate.

Yes, it's an XL5 ....

Before I formulate a solution, I would like to know whether you have 6.2.6 or 6.4.0 installed.

I don't think any of the forum regulars are frequently printing PP. Am I wrong? In which case you may be better advised to contact Prusa Support via chat.
Cheerio,

There's some truth in that!
In fact, I tend to believe that this is a filament-related issue.Since I assume that 6.4.0 is installed, there are only two ways to help the author of the post: either downgrade to 6.2.6 or adjust the G-code.

I have 6.4 installed. I haven't had issues with anything else so I haven't bothered to downgrade... I'll try that first,.. well second..
I was able to get a print out of it by creating a version of the gCode for PETG, and telling the printer to route it to the PP filament tool.. Then I manually tweaked the bed temp to 100° and lowered the nozzle temp to 235... it was even a reasonable result..

Ok... so downgrading from 6.4 to 6.2.6 fixed the issue... Printing really tiny things....
Do I need to redo all my calibrations now??
