    This is what happens, just prints the skirt and the first layer and when have to go to the next one stops extruding. At first happened printing from Matter control via USB, then I leraned that this happens due comunication issues or power, or windows turning off the COM ports. Then I tried to print from the SD Card and worked for a few prints, and now keeps doing the same. Look;
    Thanks for helping, greetings.
    1 pic.- Thats the first layer or an attempt of one
    2 pic.- The filament stucks in that.
    3 pic.- The noozzle and the other thing with the heatsink also with clogged

    is the small fan on the side of your extruder running? (not the one that points at the parts, the one that flow across the extruder)

    Then @danzca6 probably has it figured out. Pla needs seasoned from time to time or an oiler. Got any canola oil in your house ?(cooking stuff)

    Well I tried seasonig with the canola oil and there were no possitive results. I found another solution, I put an extra fan beside de extruders heatsink and have been working quite well. So Id like to know if this is a common problem with the default fan not cooling the extruder like its supossed to do it and if the solution that I found looks alright?
    Thank you guys for your help, greetings.
