Clog Conundrum? How to fix an Ender 3 V3 SE step-by-step! 

Thank You. The way I see it, all printers are preference. I got this in November of last year and I still love it. The situation was because the spool got tangled in itself which happens in any printer, even Bambu I found out. It really depends on which problem you want to deal with, and how much you are willing to spend. I thought about Bambu and may still get it in the future if I don't want to paint my figures anymore. The artist in me enjoys that past time so that's why I stick with the Ender 3 series. Within the 6 months that I've had this printer, I've had at least almost 200 prints done then when I had the ender 3 v2 which only gave 30 because I bought it before they started creating auto bed leveling and it was a pain. Budget wise, this is still a great printer for small hobbies. If you're looking to make profit from printing, then more expensive printers are your best bet. Just make sure you do your research so you don't end up having to call customer service all the time. ;)

Thank you, I try my best to be helpful.

Awesomeness, glad this was helpful. 😊

That's amazing to hear. I know everybody has different situations when it comes these printers but I'm glad this situation helped you. Thank you for the comment.

Glad the video helped

@Productreviewing538 Thank you! I took a screenshot of this so I can save this is my notes. 😊

@@JustAnAverageGirl83 your welcome!

I may do the same just for the sake of learning about this printer, cause there are not a lot of videos out there for the ender v3 SE. I've always taken things apart and tried to figure out how to put it back together as a kid. I may do something like this for my printer for the sake of knowledge. lol

Thank you for watching. 😊 I'm glad this video is helping people with similar situations.

I happen to have thermo paste! I will take that into consideration. Thank you so much for a creative solution 😃

Good to know, never thought about that. Thank you

The first answer to your question is that you need to open the extruder itself and take the filament out. As for your second question, I do not know. There are helpful groups of Facebook that I'm sure can help you.

You are absolutely correct. It is a preference for me to start my prints at a slower rate before I chose to speed it up. I'm in no rush to print these as it's for my collection. To me, I see a difference from just printing at its base speed vs. printing at a slower pace.

Nice, that you have all three. I only have the SE. It may not be your printers, but the g-code itself, a territory I'm afraid I haven't messed with. I know there's an update for the SE, but I never updated it; but I've come across files that were actually the problem and not the printer. Also, it's good to do temp towers before you print. If you don't do that already, cause all filaments are not created equal I discovered. So make sure that you've done that. Finally, every clog is different. As you can see in the video, mine was a heatend clog because the filament got tangled and got stuck in the heatsink. The last time it was clogged, it was stuck inside the extruder. So monitor that and make sure to clean your nozzles after several prints, as I demonstrated in the video So, if you have changed everything for all three devices: brand new heatsink, nozzle, etc, it may be the g-code, which I've said I have not touched that territory. I would suggest joining 3D printing groups on Facebook like "3D printing help and troubleshooting", they have been a big help to me and I'm sure there is someone who has solved the gcode problem for your printers. I hope these suggestions guide you closer to a solution best of luck to you.

Check your settings for the filament type. Each as a different recommended heat, adjust your file for the heat you need

@gordonlaurie1201 yes, sometimes I have to remember to do temp towers as well to find the right temperature. I'm still trying to figure out how my filament got tangled in the spool cause that's what really happened. Instead of automatically retracting (which I wish it would do when this happens) it was still trying to go and it got stuck. But I still enjoy this printer. 😊
