Issues on my 5 head XL. Would love some help.
So, I have a 5-tool XL, and got it in February of this year. I have had no problems since then, up until I got the Prusa XL enclosure about a month ago. The enclosure was fine, and I only have 1 issue with it (I will explain later). However, when I got the enclosure, I also got one of the ObXidian nozzles (this was before they came out with the high flow versions). Replacing the nozzle was easy to replace, but I was a little scared that I tightened the screw that holds the nozzle a little too hard. However, I took it out and checked it and it looked fine. I started printing stuff right away, and it seemed fine. Then, after a few prints it started to make a loud "thunk" noise over and over again and then the stuck filament sensor went off. I adjusted the tension on the nextruder and that seemed to fix the thunking, but the sensor was still saying that filament was stuck. It seemed like every 15-60 minutes it would get "stuck" even though there is nothing wrong when I open the idler. Occasionally it would make the thunking sound, but mostly it just kept getting "stuck". For about 2 weeks I have been using other heads to do my prints, but I want to start using the ObXidian nozzle again. I could just turn off stuck filament detection, but I am scared that the filament might actually get stuck and my print would fail. I also noticed that it works completely fine some days but is awful another day. Any suggestions on how to fix this? It could be the humidity getting to my filament, as I printed a benchy yesterday, and it printed flawlessly without issues.
My only complaint with the enclosure is that the fan sometimes stops spinning. It's not a big deal, I usually print with PLA and PETG, but if it keeps failing I'll open a support case. For now I just unplug it and plug it back in and it works.
I would appreciate any help that you guys can provide.
