Wrong retraction settings would be my first idea
Should I disable retraction and try to print something
To see if it is retraction
@grand tulip

Just post the settings first?
grand tulip
Do you have the sprite normal or pro extruder?
grand tulip
So you have an allmetal heatbreak
lethal mantle
yes
grand tulip
That could be 2 reasons then first 3 mm is too long for allmetal
Second. Pla really likes to stick to metal. Try using an oiler for a while to see if it gets better
lethal mantle
its not pla its petg

what would you say is good

k thanks

petg is a hard filament, you should at first start with a temp tower e step and flow calibration. After those 3 you should do a retraction calibration test found here https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html#retraction , if the problem still exist, your filament probably got some moisture in it so you should try drying it with silica

i dryed it recently and i will do thoese things once i print a calbibration cube with the setting @grand tulip recommended thanks for the info @finite granite

To me it looks better 😄 important question though at what temp did you asseble your hotend?

Wdym?

It needs to be hot tightend otherwise youll get a gap inside your heatblock due thermal expansion and no they are usally never hotthigtend by factory

does it matter too much
grand tulip
no im just recommending i for fun
of course does it matter
it creates a gap and a place where filament goes where it should not
lethal mantle
of course does it matter
but how much does it matter
is what i meant
the test is printing rn @grand tulip

its the differnce between a working printer and a 50%cance to destroy your hotend

which part do i tighten
grand tulip
lethal mantle
so tighten the nozzle
grand tulip
correctly and in your case after removing and cleaning it out
lethal mantle
it apears to be non clogged when it was hot it went a qaurter rotation more
tight
Before tightening btw
grand tulip
you know what. you do you 🙂 good luck finding a solution
lethal mantle
you know what. you do you 🙂 good luck finding a solution
wdym i did what you said
i checked the nozzle and it was clean and i tightend it
grand tulip
you did not offend me and no im not collecting friendships. i only have a daily limit for helping people and i really dont like it if somebody ask if its really needed. i suggest you try a 1 mm retraction distance and if thats not working an oiler .. and if thats not working your petg is wet
lethal mantle
k thank you
