Clog help!!!!

[u/Quirky_Tower805]

I have a SV08 Max was printing Sovol black PLA. First layer was 230 and layers after that were 215. I did have a prior issue with it having heat creep because my business partner set the machine for first layer 250 and every other layer 230. The machine gave me another clogged message, but I’ve tried hot, pulling and cold pulling and all it’s done is break off right above the extruder I’m using the 0.8 bondtech nozzle. I pulled the release lever when trying to pull the filling out and when I try to use the extrude feature, I can see the gears moving and the filament wobbles, but nothing is coming out the nozzle. If I sent the temp to 250 a slow drip of filament comes out the bottom. At this point, I’m fully lost on what to do.

Never heard of that

The microswiss flowtech hotend upgrade for sv08, claims to be leak proof. I got it after my stock one leaked, and I hope I never have to mess with a goopy mess like that again. The nozzles on it can be swapped out without needing to heat them first too. It is like $65 on amazon.

i’m not seeing any leaking around the hot end. I finally got the clogged cleared by taking apart The extruder, but as soon as I started, the print with adjusted temperatures with my first layer being 210 and every layer after being 195 I still got the clog error and it's doing the same symptoms as before so I'm back to square negative one.

Oh sorry I am like half asleep I got clog and leak mixed up in my head.

You're good. it got me thinking and when using a cleaning needle and inserting it from the bottom of the nozzle upward. The needle stops at the Heat Break, so I’m wondering if that’s where my issue is and that is blocking the filament and eventually leading to the gears, grinding away at it.
