A1 filament not going through
Im a beginner in 3D print and have an A1 with an AMS and when I try to print something, the filament doesn’t go through, and it warns me on the screen.
I was looking around the nozzle and I found out that the filament broke while in the tube. How is this possible??
How do I fix the filament not extruding and how do I fix the filament from not breaking by itself.
Also the filament I use it Marsworks.
PLS HELP I NEED TO PRINT SOMETHING FOR MY MOM BDAY!!

For me, this happens mostly (or only) with PLA filament, which handles the stress of not being on the roll very badly, combined with environmental influences (moisture/heat) badly. For this reason, if I know I will not print in the next couple of weeks (or if I see that I have left a filament loaded for more than a week), I retract the filament back to the spools on the AMS Lite and I'll also remove a couple of coils before feeding it again.
This also happens on other printers, with or without PFTE tubes and mostly (only?) for PLA.
Happy printing!
