How do you fix a stuck filament?

Try and keep the filament as straight as possible. Natural or clear coloured filament works best so you can see the residue when you pull it out. If your hot end is too clogged to get anything out of the hot end, take a thin wire and a pair of plyers and stick it into the tip of the nozzle to clear the blockage.28 juil. 2016

What is the best temperature for PLA?

What temperature to print PLA? In general, PLA filament settings have an optimal printing PLA temperature range from about 185C to about 205C. If you’re using 1.75mm as opposed to thicker 2.85mm (or 3.00mm) your optimal print will be closer to the lower end of this PLA filament temperature range.9 nov. 2016
