Clogging Issues

Post by psun03_3dprint »

I am a beginner 3d printer user and been playing around with a cheapy printer, Qidi X-one2. I've been having clogging issues.

If I print something and then try to print something else close to each other, there are not any issues. If I print something and then turn the printer off and the next day I try to print something, it appears that the printer is clogged. I have to unclog it before I can print again.
What can I do to get the 3d printer from clogging every time I print and stop?

I've been working with PLA at 240C.

Agreed,

When I started out was printing PLA at 192-196C now my printing is around 204C

That is WAY TOO HOT for PLA filament. 210C would be best, that's what I print mine at.
