I use breakaway filament a lot and i find after so many prints that you need to clean out the print core and it starts to extrude right again. So i'm guessing that bits burn and get stuck inside the printcore nozzle that blocks the flow of filament.
So go to "settings" on your printer and pick "maintenance" - "Print Head" - "Print core cleaning" and then follow the on screen steps to clean the print core you print the Breakaway from.
The print core is clean, I switched out the Breakaway to ABS, no probs ...then ... Im reloading Cura, perhaps saved a setting somewhere. But, the first few layers are OK then it goes haywire and gets worse...
Best I can do with the Breakaway...the photos below are at Cura defaults...no retraction, etc...its stringy but is solid up to a certain height then the walls get holes and the breakaway becomes even worse...
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
