Hot end cannot print anymore is this due to the hot weather?

[bdureau]

Hello
I have had troubles printing PLA this week. What is happening is the print start very well and after 2 or 3 layers it starts jamming.
I suspect it is due to the hot weather (room temp is more than 30 celcius!!!)
Has anybody experience the same?

Could be.
Certainly pla reacts to even quite small ( you would think) temp changes
Worth noting your hot end is being cooled to ambient air temperature at best..
So even if the outside is at room temp. The in side ( of the coldbit ofthe hot end) will be a few degrees hotter..maybe just enough to cause trouble...

Bet it sticks down better now

Yes it was sticking a lot better ....
Anyway now that the weather is a lot cooler I am back to normal printing.
That Kossel printer that I got the other day is a lot better than my Sumpod and can print up to 30 cm hight and is perfect for printing big model rocket
