filament does not feed

Post by imsmooth » Sun Aug 31, 2014 10:44 pm

I tried to print and although the gear was turning, no extruded filament came through the nozzle. I was at 240F. I solved the problem by going up to about 247F and was able to get things working by gently pushing the filament through while jogging the extruder. It works fine now.

Why did this happen? Is there a pocket that got clogged with unmelted filament? How does one normally fix this, or did I do the right thing?

Thanks.
