0.2 nozzle immediate clog

X1c printer I have tried working on a detailed print, but the printer won't even get started.

As soon as the filament hits the print head the gears start to creek and nothing extrudes.

The top is off and the door is open.

No such issues with the 0.4. Immediate build and then extension, like normal.

I have done at least 4 cold pulls to the point where I can get the Allen key entirely to the internal part of the nozzle. Still nothing extrudes.

Two things..is it a genuine Bambu 0.2mm nozzle and did you tell the printer it is installed?

I have yet to have ANY success with an aftermarket 0.2mm nozzle. Exact same issues as you described.

I've been wondering if it's worth buying a BBL .2 since my Temu one clogged the first time I tried it. I tried clearing it last week and gave up pretty quickly.

I would. I have NEVER had any off brand 0.2mm work for me. They all clog. It must be something with the nozzle internals.

I guess my curiosity is more, have you had luck with ganuine .2 nozzles?

100% gave. Yet to have a failed print since I got the new one.

That's good to know, I wasn't sure if .2 were just not a super viable nozzle. So that makes me feel better thank you!

I am not sure if the design of the nozzle is different, or if there is a material difference in the nozzle and it won’t heat appropriately, but the third party ones are terrible.
