So i just fixed my printer after a while and tried to print myself a Mask. At first everything worked just fine but then my print failed again i didnt know why until I saw the filament had snapped and going through anymore. This happened every time i tried it does anyone know why? It's a roll of polymaker polyterra pla filament.
Thanks

Zoom in. If I can see it in a photo you should be able to see it live and in person.
That's not snapped. That's ground down to a sharpened V shape with tons of debris all over the extruder.
Its getting jammed/clogged then grinding right though

So what can I do about it?

Try lowering your retraction speed and also if you do a decent length print and feel how warm the motor gets, if it is getting too hot then you may need to add some form of cooling for it
