It sounds like you're experiencing some issues with your 3D printer. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check your filament: Make sure your PLA filament is not tangled or kinked. Also, check if it's properly loaded and feeding correctly into the extruder.

2. Clean the nozzle: If the print stopped after a few layers, there could be a clog or debris in the nozzle. Heat up the nozzle and carefully remove any leftover filament or obstructions using a small needle or cleaning tool.

3. Check bed leveling: Ensure that your print bed is leveled properly. An unlevel bed can result in poor adhesion and cause prints to fail. Follow your printer's manual on how to properly level the bed.

4. Inspect the rubber cap: If the rubber cap piece is damaged, it's possible that it may be affecting the printing process. Check if it's properly aligned and seated correctly.

5. Verify slicer settings: Double-check the settings in your slicing software. Ensure that the layer height, noz...

So remember to tighten the nozzle when it is hot (carefully with tools).

And make sure you cut the PTFE tube evenly without crushing it.
