Swapped Filament Mid-Print

link: http://ift.tt/2cV5OFC I was printing out this large Bulbasaur(26 hour print) came home on lunch and noticed that I wasn’t going to have enough filament to finish the print, there was about 2 feet left on the roll. I was able to pause the print and swap out filament and push it through and continue it without any issues. I couldn’t believe I was able to pause it and swap it out like this and get it to finish like that. It seemed risky to me but it was either try that or have an unfinished print and 26 hours down the drain. I’m glad I tried it. The Airwolf HD2x definitely came through today. http://ift.tt/2dN703I

Printer head stopped extruding mid-print.

I was half way through a print when I realized the head wasn’t even extruding. I turned up the temp and forced out some filament…seems to be fine when I do that.When I try to print the filament doesn’t come out fast enough and ends up in a gargled mess. Filament will come out but it doesn’t flow properly.I have the Maker Select v2 by Monoprice. Someone please help.edit: Tried heating the extruder and using the provided drill shank to unclog, but it snapped when I stuck it in the print head. http://ift.tt/2dTKmmq

Yikes. Any ideas?
