E3v6 blocks andere stops extruding

Hi reprappers,

I have an issue with my v6 blocking at the bottom of the heatbreak.
It always happens after extruding about 10mm.
The blocked piece is always the same size and it looks like an unmelted piece of filament of 5 mm long.
The nozzle is good tightened against the heatbreak as it even pushes the heatbreak a bit up after tightening.
Help would be very welcome, i think the heaterblock is the issue so i already ordered one.

It looks like the filament isnt properly melting, wich is strange as the temperature is fine.

Try applying thermal paste to the upper threads of the heat break. It made all the difference for me.

its weird because i never had isssues with this in the past. I will give it a try, thanks for your reply.
Did you have a similar issue before?

It is just good practise to use a heat compound glue or grease to join such parts.
After all you would not mount your CPU without, would you ?

Update:

I dont want to speak to soon but i applied the thermal paste,
i am printing for about 20 mins without issue, before it would have jammed like 20 times by now.
If it is solved because of this i am very happy, i do find it strange that i didn't need te paste before.
