Hot end clog
I've had an Ender 5 Plus for a couple of years and now after getting the print settings dialed in it is now starting to clog after an hour or so into a print...
It was all original parts at this stage.
I removed the bowden tube from the hotend and it was clogged with melted PLA.
I bought a replacement hotend from Amazon that had a new heater, thermistor, bowden tube nozzle etc. This was all connected when it arrived so I bolted it on, fed some filament, leveled the bed, set the z offset etc.. it all seemed OK.
Then about 90 minutes in, it clogged and stopped extruding.
I opened a new filament before replacing the hotend.
The first layer prints at 210c and then goes down to 200c for the remainder.
The print looks good until it just stops coming out of the nozzle.
I then removed the clog, cleaned the nozzle, replaced the bowden tube.. PLA was feeding and coming out OK. But then after almost 2 hours in to a print it clogs again.
It is currently winter in Australia so ambient temp in the room is about 16c.
Is there something I am missing?
TLDR: ive replaced everything on the hotend, extruder, bowden tube, filament. Still clogging after 1-2 hours printing.
