In the past couple of weeks, my V6 hotend gets jammed very frequently. The nozzle is 0.4 mm and the printer is a D-Bot.

Here are some of the things I have tried so far,

  1. Switched between the original and a clone and both get jammed.
  2. Tried different heat breaks - the one where the Bowden PTFE tube goes all the way to the nozzle, the one where its an all metal one and the one that has a PTFE liner inside it.
  3. Checked and re-calibrated the E steps and the PID tuning for the nozzle.
  4. Used different filaments (PLA).
  5. Tightened the nozzle against the heat break every time
  6. Tried different printing speeds and also calibrated the extrusion multiplier.
  7. Tried different retraction speeds and lengths.
  8. Ensured that the heat sink is adequately cooled.

What could I be missing?
