Yesterday i was getting jams, i was getting all hot and sweaty trying to figure out the cause, looks like it was some junk in the hotend and a combination of the inner liner starting to break down and leaving crap in my hotend, cleaned it out out as best as i could, still was jamming, ended up using the WD40 prob the worst stuff to use but im hardly in the printer room when its printing, Worked great not one jam, Cut a hole in the bowden tube and i think now ill use lubrication for my setup. just wanted to post it here incase other people are forgetting to try use oil, i would not recommend using wd40 tho, it smells rank https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280313#msg-280313 Wed, 22 Jul 2026 03:37:38 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,281036#msg-281036 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,281036#msg-281036 uncle_bob Reprappers Tue, 17 Dec 2013 07:12:26 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280875#msg-280875 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280875#msg-280875 my prints are very strong, I use PLA,, ABS, NYLON...


sometimes if I dump a heap of oil in the Bowden tube, I get some brown crap on the print, but its gone by the next layer anyway... it seems to be rare for that to happen..

I use budaschnozzle and its very easy to clean as well, I have multiple nozzles but my fav one is .5 have .4 and .2
Id imagine using anything less than .5 or .4 would jam easy, jams are pretty easy to fix, just need to isolate the issue quickly for a fast resolution]]> nechaus Reprappers Tue, 17 Dec 2013 00:18:06 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280769#msg-280769 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280769#msg-280769 uncle_bob Reprappers Mon, 16 Dec 2013 17:57:29 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280583#msg-280583 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280583#msg-280583 Maxx Mayhem Reprappers Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:37:44 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280410#msg-280410 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280410#msg-280410 nechaus Reprappers Mon, 16 Dec 2013 02:15:01 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280335#msg-280335 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280335#msg-280335 nechaus Reprappers Sun, 15 Dec 2013 19:07:01 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280334#msg-280334 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280334#msg-280334
I'd put some sort of cleaning mop in front of the tube...]]> uncle_bob Reprappers Sun, 15 Dec 2013 19:05:04 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280313#msg-280313 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,280313,280313#msg-280313 Worked great not one jam,
