I am noticing more of an issue where filament is globbing up and sticking to the side of the nozzle that I have in the past. I had a clog today and used a propane torch burn out the clog and I am printing fine, just when the prints start, the filament globs up adhearing to the side of the nozzle.

I am using MakerGear PLA and their recommended 220 degrees C.

Thanks,
Jerold

That usually happens when you have a tiny bit of unmelted plastic stuck to the tip of the nozzle from your previous prints. It can block the flow and make it go sideways until it melts and falls off with the rest of the hot plastic.

Either clean the tip of the nozzle off after your prints, or just use the tweezers to clean off the nozzle during the purge, before the print starts. (That's what they're there for.)

That's what the tweezers are for !!! Thanks!
