Posted · Repeated clogging of Ultimaker 2 noozle

When starting a new print with the same filament, very often the filament will not extrude normally. To avoid this, the best I have found up to now is to make a systematic Material Change before each new print. Then when the filament comes out of the entrance hole, I have to cut by a few millimeters the tip of the filament, and then continue with the normal Material Change procedure.

This procedure works OK, but of course I would prefer to be able to make several consecutive prints without the need of making it.

It seems that the problem arises because the tip of the filament has a diameter too large to enter the noozle when I do not make this cut.

If anyone has encountered this problem, and solved it, please let me know.

I am typically using PLA filament, with the right 2.85 mm diameter.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
