Help with 0.2 nozzle

Hello,

I just installed a 0.2mm nozzle on my X1C to try out some lithophanes.

I’m using the Sunlu PLA CMYK bundle.

I thought it would be best to do a flow rate calibration just to make sure everything’s working properly. The printer lays down the initial material strip at the front of the plate just fine. However, as soon as it starts the actual print, it clogs at the nozzle and nothing gets deposited on the build plate. I don’t think it’s an internal nozzle clog, since the first flow test prints fine at the front.

Here are the steps I’ve already taken:

  • Dried the filament
  • Calibrated the printer
  • Double-checked all slicer settings (selected 0.2mm nozzle)
  • Using the generic PLA printing profile

Any help would be greatly appreciated — not sure what else I can try at this point.
