I'm having trouble with MP Mini, it keeps jamming. The jam coils the filament up in the plastic spacer in the heat sink. When I break it down the nozzle does not seem to be jammed as I can push filament through with little pressure at 190 degrees. The print seems to go for approximately 20 min then this happens.

This is only happening on files I have created. I can print the test file that came with the printer and it continues just fine. But as soon as I try to print my own file, failure. I have included photos of my setting below. Any and all help is much appreciates. This is my first 3D printer, the part is not complicated.

    I don't know the MP Mini printer but the Cura settings don't look wrong to me.

    Have you checked if the cooling fan for the extruder stops working after 20 minutes?

    I don't know the MP Mini either, so this is a *very wild guess*. But to me this looks a bit like you are using a 1.75mm filament in a 2.85mm printer?

    However, if you would be using the correct filament, I would indeed look for a temperature/cooling problem somewhere in the system, like Nicolinux suggested? Or some piece of tubing or coupler that is missing or mounted incorrectly (similar to the white teflon coupler in Ultimaker printers), which is supposed to contain the molten filament?

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
