UM2+E jamming mid print with .25 nozzle.

Posted · UM2+E jamming mid print with .25 nozzle.

There is probably something simple I'm missing, but I've already tried Googling, but that hasn't given me much. 

I've used the stock .25 nozzle a few times before, but they always have been relatively small and quick prints, no more than a few hours, and .2 layer height. 

Now, I'm printing a pretty intricate and delicate model that needs a .25 nozzle and to print at .1 layer height, and even with a UM2, I feel like I need to print extremely slow. Every print attempt jammed at a random point. The kind "jam" where its not really jamming, and the edge of the filament, when pulled out, is thicker and kind of flat. 

I read that going too slow with a small nozzle can cause this problem, but it jammed at my last attempt at 45mm/s. I previously tried 15mm/s and 30mm/s. The print going at 45mm/s got the furthest along. I'm just too afraid to go any faster. The model is a female character figure with a thin skirt that flares out that needs lots of support for (I did everything I can to thicken the skirt area in Blender). 

Is there something I'm missing, or am I thinking too hard into this and just should increase the speed? Thanks!

        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.
