Are my settings clogging the nozzle?

Posted · Are my settings clogging the nozzle?

Hello all guys,

 

Recently I have compared the extruded filament width of a new nozzle and after 50h of printing

when the nozzle (0.8mm) was new, the filament width after extrusion was about 0.86mm

after a 48h print I have measured again and it was extruding a filament of 0.6mm causing under extrusion

 

the first time I have seen that, I thought the nozzle worn out after few months

but last week I changed two nozzles because of this reason

even with 2-3 cold pull using transparent nylon, the new nozzles still clogged

(the outside the nozzle is often cleaned with a brass brush)

 

so, I am wondering if my settings are too much to handle by the extruder/nozzles:

I have come up with these settings for print a tube-like shape that must be the most rugged as possible, I don’t mind the bad-looking surface because the pieces are machined in a lathe.... I have followed the suggestions of CNC Kitchen, Teaching Tech, Maker's Muse, MatterHackers to print with 0.8mm nozzle in the most tough way possible:

- over extruding (120-130%)

- high temperature (240°C)

- large line width (1mm)

- no cooling

- low speeds (16-25mm/s)

and so on...

(settings file attached)

 

Cura is measuring a max flow rate of 9.75mm3/s in the infill and a minimum of 6mm3/s in the external wall

 

for any additional information please ask  🙂

 

thanks a lot

        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.
