ASA fails to extrude after a PLA print
Hello forum,
My Core One has worked flawlessly the past year for ASA, PC-CF, PA-CF, PETG and PLA. I haven’t tried flex with it yet. I have a dedicated MK4S for TPU/Flex.
That said I printed a few PLA items the other day that printed fine. I unloaded the PLA. A few days later I loaded ASA and started a print. The outer perimeter on the first layer was the old PLA and I stopped the print after hearing an odd noise from the extruder. I am wondering if some of the PLA broke inside the tube and was pushed into the extruder/“nextruder?” Since then it will not load,purge, or print ASA correctly. Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David
RE: ASA fails to extrude after a PLA print
I have had clogging and clicking noises from the nextruder recently too.
Result was under extrusion and smoke on the nozzle, cause was an eSun mate PLA filament, no idea what was wrong with it but i threw it away after i confirmed it what it causing me the trouble...
Solutions are Cold Pulls, Needle in the nozzle and if all fails remove the nozzle from the heat break and mechanically or chemically remove what was stuck inside.
