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.

    My poor X1C has suffered a lot through one hotend, including a lot of 20% CF PA6, 17% CF PET, and this plastic in gold, red, silver, and bronze, all of which comes out picture-perfect. If I had to guess, it’s either wet or you have a clog.
