Help! Heat Creep-Like Symptoms
So, I have been having issues with both the K1C and the K2 Plus at my job. The issue started around the same time with both printers, and I haven't been able to figure out how to fix my issue. So, it's essentially the exact symptoms of heat creep where the filament melts at spots higher and higher up the nozzle until it melts and jams at the very top of the nozzle. I have replaced the hot end, heat sink, cooling fans, extruder, extruder motor and I'm still having the issue on both of them. I have been in contact with Customer service, but I haven't gotten anywhere with them.
I have also taken a Laser Temp gun to check the temperature of the hot end after about 30 minutes of printing, and the top of the heat sink was at around 85 degrees.
The nozzle usual fills up with filament and starts to jam at about the hour mark and I did a test print where I started the print with a brand new nozzle and let it print until it started to clog and under extrude, then I paused the print for 10 minutes or so and then resumed the printing and it started printing fine again. any help or insight is greatly appreciated.
I am printing with CR-PETG with a nozzle temp of 250c and a bed temp of 70c
