Hello Everyone,
I wanted to ask if anyone else experiences clogging and heat creep during printing? I had this 3 times in a few weeks now and never ever with my other printer.
I print quite fast, but only PLA with ~225. Since this is an allmetal hotend rated to 300° i am very shocked that i had to disassemble the extruder (and almost another time) now to remove the molten plastic from the gears.
At my place the room temperature is around 30-ish deg C but that shouldnt be a problem…
Any thoughts?

> This topic is about how I adressed heat creep on my new SV06 that kept my prints failing. See this [post](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/sovol-svo6-fails-printing-around-the-same-layer-each-time/938/18) that describes a similar problem. (here is my setup) (at first even very small prints kept failing) First I will describe the problem and split it into individual smaller issues. Then I will show you how I adressed them and what helped me and what didn’t. (this is my best example: it is a pie…

Yes. I recently got the SV07 three days ago and have as to clear our two blockages. Prior to the sv07 I’d never had to clear our a blockage. I initially thought maybe the supplied filament was just crap, but just a few minutes ago experienced another blockage with known good filament.
I’m gonna try running mine with the shroud removed (since it’s huge and annoying anyway), along with backing the tension screw off a bit, see if that helps.
