How do you unjam a Prusa i3 mk3?
Force the clog out
- Go to the LCD Menu -> Settings -> Temperature -> Nozzle.

- Push the bundled acupuncture needle (0,3 mm to 0,35 mm diameter) into the nozzle from below.
Why does my 3d printer jam?
Filament jams happen when the extruder can’t push filament through the hot end. The extruder either grinds the filament until it’s so thin that the gear that advances the filament is no longer in contact with it or the motor that drives the extruder stalls because it’s overloaded.
How do I stop TPU from jamming?
Re: Can’t print TPU as the extruder is clogging/jamming
- Release the pressure from the bondtech gears.
- Increase the nozzle temp if you encounter issues (235C is just perfect)
- Print with constant speed 10-20mm/s (15-20 work best for me)
- No retractions.
How do I Unjam my Prusa printer?
While hotend is heated to 280° C, firmly grab the filament with the needle-nose pliers that came with the printer. Slowly drag/feed the filament upwards, bit by bit, through the top of the extruder body, until it is completely removed from the PTFE-tube.

What causes extruder clicking and PLA filament jammed?
If I leave the printer unattended during the night, I wake up in the morning and find that just the first 10 layers have been printed, extruder clicks, and printer is way above the printed layers “thinking” it’s still printing, but no filament comes out (it missed all the layers).
Why is my PTFE jammed with PLA filament?
When I unload and reload filament, after the jamming, the end of the filament is larger than the rest. I suspect that the heat from the nozzle is spreading to the very first part of the PTFE tube, melting the PLA inside and jamming it.
