Goliath Heat Creep
I am at a crossroad here. Right now I run a Goliath Air Cooled hotend with 0.6mm CHT Nozzle. I also run a CPAP. Let 'er eat at 100% while doing PLA. I've noticed that as long as I am doing large prints that have consistent extrusion, it woks great. However when it has to do intricate parts where my flow drop from 22-32³/s to something like 10-12. I start to run into heat creep issues. The filament will start to twist and jam. I am running 1mm/40mm's retraction, and 215C.
So I am trying to decide. Is this hot end setup too much for what I am running? Should I drop down to say a Rapido with the settings I print at. Should I try to print faster, if so what have others gotten on a 500 Ratrig setup. I run 160mm/s perimeters and 230mm/s infill. I have nearly 800hrs on the clock for this setup, and only notice issue when filament is flowing at low volumes.
