Hi SandervG,
thank you for your fast reply :-). Please see the picture for a succesful print and I also attached another picture of a bulgy filament end.
As far as I understand this problem, at some point the filament does not exit the nozzle anymore and the feeder keeps on feeding. Then the lump starts to grow inside the extruder until it becomes too big and the feeder starts grinding into the filament.
I have no idea why the extrusion stops after printing without any issues for a while. Very odd is also that after the problem occured, I perform the change material process (which means I remove the filament, cut off a bit and insert the same filament) the extrusion works just fine and I can start the next print (then, if it is a smaller one it prints without a problem).
I calibrated the bed, did the atomic method several times and cleaned the bowden tube.
Looking forward to your reply.

Hi @Fade,
Thank you for your message, lets see if we can move any closer to the origin of your issue
Do you also have a photo of one of your successful prints?
Do you have some more information on why your filament stops extruding? I understand this is part of your question too, but do you know if it starts grinding at the feeder? Can you manually pull out the filament from your feeder when it has stopped extruding without using the lever? Is there a lump at the end of your filament? Is your nozzle clogged?
You say it stops extruding, but also that you have to remove the filament cause it keeps being fed into the nozzle. Well, it has to go somewhere, it doesn't disappear Looking forward if you can shine some light on anything that behaves out of the ordinary when your print stops.
Thank you!
