Extrusion-Filament Grinding
 Extrusion doesn’t just depend on heat. There are a few other factors that can keep your extruder
from working:
-Tangled Filament:
If the filament on your spool for some reason becomes tangled or knotted up, it will eventually
create tension and the extruder will not have enough power to pull it through.
-Filament Latch too Loose:
If there is not enough pressure on the hobbed bolt teeth from the filament latch
-Clogged Hot End Tip:
This happens when there is something stuck in the bottom of the hot end, preventing the filament
from being pushed any further.
 Filament grinding is very easy to spot and looks like this:
 Once you have corrected whichever the underlying problem was affecting extrusion, make sure to
clean the hobbed bolt teeth out, as they have most likely become filled with plastic shavings
