#extruder not pushing out filament.

Hello. So I have tried this print multiple times, and it keeps failing. Each time I print, it goes for a little bit and then stops extruding. The printer keeps going and nothing comes out. I cleaned the nozzle. I heated up the extruder and then pushed filament through. It came out fine. It normally fails earlier this print is the farthest I've got. I was wondering if it could have anything to do with the fact that I forgot this roll of filament in the printer for a couple months or not. The printer is in an enclosure case so I thought it would be fine to leave filament in the printer because there is no moisture but am I wrong?

It could be worth trying a new role of filament or a different print to test. Chances are it is the role if the print is failing in a different position every time, but it might be the file

After a print finishes, and I take the filament out of the printer. How should I store the roll of filament?

I'm not too sure. I usually go through my roles pretty quickly. I was just having a look online at what might be going on, and one possibility is that the role you are using has gotten too much dust in it. Easy way of preventing that would be to just put it in a container once you finish using it.

The best solution would probably be a vacuum bag, but those are a bit harder to get, so hopefully a contain would do

That could be around the 5 layer range. Slicers have "early" settings for laying the foundation. Then they switch into a new mode. I would verify whatever new mode is doesn't have some weird fat fingered value in it.

How can I check that in Cura?

So you just want all values to be the same then?
