In other news, I’m having a tough time printing with “silk” PLA filament. I’ve had a print fail five or six times in a row with the nozzle getting clogged. I tried raising temp, lowering speed, etc. No luck!

Maybe faster speed, larger nozzle?

Yeah not sure. I used first party filament and the provided preset, so I thought I’d have no issues. But… no dice. They recommend a 0.4mm nozzle, which is what I am using, and I dialed everything into the window of the specs.

The hardest thing to learn with 3D printers is that even for a system that simple, correlation is not causation. There are usually a number of different overlapping mechanisms that *could* account for the observed problem. In this case, it would help to know the manufacturer and model.

Flashforge Adventurer 5M. Pretty much completely stock. It’s my first printer, so I am certainly learning. The filament in question is this one: a.co/d/ix2nI1V Happy to accept advice! I’m a total newbie still.

@jonathan the nozzle might be clogged from something else?

Filament DRY? Run it in a dryer for few hours then try. Get the humidity down to 20-30%
