I consider myself to be moderately to highly skilled at #3dPrinting; I've fixed most common problems.
Recently i've had a rash of unexplained clogs. I've had clogs before, but with reasonable causes. First I get under extrusion then I can't even get a good extrusion by manually feeding. I end up having to cold pull and poke it with a needle before it clears.
I've been running a lot of cheap PLA for my castle project. Anyone else had cheap filament cause clogs or am I barking up the wrong tree?
