Re: PLA filament not extruding well

Hi my printer was working fine for a few weeks when recently it stopped extruding any filament and I have disassembled the extruder and found that the plastic tube inside the nozzle had become clogged I removed the clogged filament and re assembled the extruder and it worked for the first few layers...

Re: PLA filament not extruding well

Re: PLA filament not extruding well

hi this problem affects all layers and i have slowed the first layer speed down and it has increased the print quality for the first 5 layers but when it starts on the infill it doesn't extrude properly.

PLA filament not extruding well

i have had good prints from my printer for a few weeks when yesterday the first layer wasn't extruding properly and was stringy in some places but wasn't in others. i have re-leveled the bed and tried different filaments but it is still the same result. any tips on how to fix it? :cry:
