Hermes Would Not Load

I tried repeatedly to get Hermes to load. It would accept the filament but nothing would come out when it should have extruded. It appears there may be some filament clogging it from an earlier print.

I switched over to Apollo and put a not on Hermes. If there is something I can do to attempt to remedy when I return to get my print, let me know.

Most often I think a nozzle blockage is due to a higher temperature filament being used before. You could try preheating the nozzle to 260+ before loading some of the cleaning filament stored with the printer tools. If that loads and purges correctly, you can unload it, cool the nozzle to PLA temperatures, and load your filament.

I’ve cleared this clog. It was a stubborn one and I had to resort to accupuncture.
