Comment on Help wanted undextrusion and stuck filament

Without knowing what printer you have I offer this advice:
Does your printer keep the temperature? I had a creality cr6 that underextruded and in my case it was bad capacitors on the heating element circuit.

It is a core one and the temp does seem stable
@prenatal_confusion @BigDanishGuy I got a #3DPrinting prusa core one my question is name every thermoplastic type you used then see if that’s why it is clogged imagine if someone used aluminium to extrude & then tried wax that’s why I am asking

Only petg and pla with this head.
@prenatal_confusion that is why PETG thermoplastic fiament first then the PLA then the #3dprinting chamber will be too cold to allow this the chamber in the hot end

If temp is stable try having a look at the filament. Is the extruder grinding the filament?
It could also be a case of a blocked nozzle. Though that doesn’t explain the stuck filament.
When starting with an unpowered printer, i.e. the first print after powering printer up, does the issue happen at any part of the print, or only after a little while?

Picture works now. It starts immediately

Maybe a rebuild will fix whatever is causing this. Because when you experience:
That does sound like a strictly a failure in the filament movement system. And I can only think of
And since clearing the nozzle didn’t work, and you don’t find signs of grinding, nor observe temperature swings, then I’m out of ideas.
Do you happen to have spare nozzles? Maybe try swapping the nozzle and see if it was still clogged? I’ve had nozzles that I just couldn’t clear.
