    I have taken the extruder apart expecting to see filament jammed but its clean inside. i have tried pushing filament through by hand and nothing comes through either

    normal extrusion is grinding through filament instantly still nothing

    temperatures staying high even tried putting to 240 to try push any filament through still nothing

    using E3D hot end

    (Rant)
    my stock hot end came fully clogged wouldnt print out of the box until i replaced it with the E3D one to give on third hobbed bolt they don't last long either and worse i have bought 2 3D printers in the past 12 months robo being the second both broke after a short amount of time but the robo3D has been struggling since day one overall not satisfied with the product :( a shame because the customer service is great.

    PLA? Or ABS?
    If PLA make sure you tried seasoning.

    Heat it up to like 280 and try forcing filament through. If that doesn't work replace the brass nozzle

    Drop the nozzle out and see if something is stuck in it
