It was sealed in the bag it came in and I opened it like 10 mins before I used it

Like a little hole can already damage it

I heard all the air release when I opened it

If that's not the case I saw something about the thing that feeds the filament idk the name being to tight and crushing it?

No...? I mean the e3 max has a bowden tube but i honestly never heard of too much tension...

#

Ive heard of too much pression, but that would cause clogs, not snapping, also dry pla is REALLY hard to pull apart

#

A printer itself wouldnt be able to

Did a cold pull and cleaned the extruder I'm printing a calibration cube at the moment so hopefully it's fine 👍
