<p>I am the owner of a pretty Anycubic Mega I3 and it was very cool to own it. </p>

<p>However, now I have several problems when printing with it. It clicks all along, at high or low temperature, at 5&nbsp;mm above the plate, and the result is very disgusting. It is the same with the basic black PLA, or with other PLA from ICE-Filaments but I can't do anything. </p>

<p>I use Cura and I've reset it several times, using the defaults options or not.</p>

<p>Here are two examples of some prints (normal cube): </p>

Could you simulate this by just directly command your printer to extrude 500 mm of filament, or longer?  Then see if it clogs.  That would tell you if it was a physical problem with your printer instead of some change specified by the G-code for a sliced print.  </p>\n'}, {'answer_id': 6135, 'author': 'Marco', 'author_id': 6359, 'author_profile': 'https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/users/6359', 'pm_score': 3, 'selected': True, 'text': "<p>I redid the print in order to reply to some questions posed in the answer of @kdtop. The print started but the output was not consistent and sometimes stopped. The temperature is 195°C and sometimes 'drop' to 194°C. First I pushed the new real so that the extruder did not need to pull so much. When this did not solve the problem I changed the temperature to 200°C. Now the output became consistent and my print finished. It was not as good as the one that I did with my previous filament. The top was not as neatly closed. Only the last 2 layers covered more or less for 100% the surface (perhaps 200°C is too high for this?).</p>\n\n<p>For me the solution is to higher the temperature to 200°C (or perhaps 205°C).</p>\n"}]
