Starting a new print after one is done.
So after a print on my VC3.1 - 300 is finished. Next time it starts up it just skipps in the extruder. If i prehead the extruder and open the bondtech extruder and tries to push it through. I just wont go. If i pull it out cut the end of at an angle and push it back into the extruder then i goes through the hotend with ease and extrudes out nicley. I have tried to dismantle the extruder and hotend and changed the ptfe tube in there to a new one. But still the problem persists. Do i need to pull the hotend again and dismantle it completley too see what the issue is or should i just get a new heater on there so the tube that goes into the hotpart of the hotend is all fresh and new?

When you pull it out, is there a weird blob or something on the end? Strange that it is clear without you having to run something through the nozzle, just a cold pull if it is every time
No nothing out of the ordinary that i notice tbh. Thats why it is so strange. Not sure if the end code does the retraction to long or something so it makes something there. But i havent gotten to find out where that is in that case. But ill change over from EVA3 to RatRig toolhead and new extruder and stuff soon. So ill check if the problem persist after that also.
I might just dismantle the hotend to check it properly again after i get my new parts for the rebuild from Eva to RatRig Toolhead.
