This is a fairly new 0.4mm hardened nozzle in a Bambu P1S, the nozzle has maybe 100hrs on it with the only other filament being Overture PLA Pro Black. I switched to the Polymaker Metallic filament, got it calibrated, then printed 2 good parts. This handguard has since failed twice with the nozzle getting clogged. The longest part is the last print where it made it roughly 85% of the way and clogged before printing the threads…

This is my only spool of the material and I only have enough left for 1 more attempt, it’s a nearly 18hr print. Is the Metallic glitter within the filament what’s causing the clogs? Any tips or suggestions to avoid clogs with this material? Yesterday I took the extruder about and cleaned it well thinking that it could be contributing.

    Would i need to recalibrate the filament though for a 0.6mm? I have enough to redo the handguard with maybe 20g left on the spool.

      You’d need to adjust your slicer at minimum. It’s always a good idea to calibrate for all your nozzles though. Sounds like it’s time to get some more filament regardless.
