Phaetus rapido heatbreak clogging
Hey all have a standard kit vcore 3 400 with a Pheatus hortend and lgx lite setup . Not even using the uhf part as I use the standard cooling fan duct .
The printer is supposed to function 24/7 printing pla. However slowly but surely the heatbreak of the hotend is causing friction and therefore fillament flow is impacted. This is the worst because all seems to function but during the faster print part there is under extrusion.
Cleaning the heatbreak helps but after a while prints start getting underextrusion again an while batches get lost.
Cold pulls help to clean the nozzle but do not help with the heatbreak issues.
I use the default ratrig retraction settings 0,5 mm and 120mm/s retraction speed.
Also how can I properly clean my heatbreak. The rapido is not the most serviceable for this. So far is use a 1,5 mm allen key to push the fillament through the heated hotend with nozzle removed!
Thanks all
