Another good ole hot end jam problem here. The filament jams and then the hobbed gear grinds/strips the filament. Printing specs:
FT-5 printer
E3D Titan Extruder and E3D V6 hot end
PLA at 210 degrees
35mm/sec
Retraction distance I’ve tried between .8mm and 2mm
Retraction speed tried 10mm/sec to 35mm/sec
Hot end fan is successfully keeping the heat sink cool, and I’ve done PID autotune so the hot end temp is spot on.

I’m open to any suggestions! Thanks in advance!

@Mindless Yep, changing the filament did the trick. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: Thanks for posting your settings!
