Fixing a clogged nozzle for good: the cold pull method
Poking the nozzle with a needle only delays the problem. A cold pull at the right temperature lifts the carbonised residue out in one piece.
Print settings, maintenance and material notes. Everything here was tried on my own machine and measured.

Printing a part that lives in a car in PLA is wasted time. Heat resistance, brittleness and print difficulty compared side by side.
What to check, in order, before reaching for glue. Most of the time the culprit is not z-offset but a film of oil on the bed.
Starting values differ for Bowden and direct drive. Print the tower and measure the layer where stringing stops.
A probe does not fix a warped bed, it only compensates. When mechanical adjustment is mandatory and when software is enough.
The crackling sound while printing wet PETG is water flashing to steam inside the nozzle. What six hours at 50°C does to surface quality.
