1. What is wrong with my printer the purge is super thick

ASSISTANT RESPONSES:
1. Thanks for the photo — that helps a lot. 👍 What you’re seeing (a very thick, rope-like purge line that just piles up) usually comes from restricted or inconsistent extrusion, not normal flow. Here are the most likely causes, in order of probability, and what to check on your printer:. 1️⃣ Partial nozzle clog (most likely) Your purge is coming out slow, fat, and curling, which is classic partial clog behavior. Why it happens - Burnt filament residue - Debris/dust in filament - Heat creep (especially with PETG) - Switching materials without a purge Fix 1. Heat nozzle to printing temp - PLA: ~215–220 °C - PETG: ~240–250 °C 2. Manually extrude filament 3. Do a cold pull: - Heat → push filament - Cool to ~90–100 °…
