3D printing enthusiasts all know that filament quality directly determines both the printing experience and the final output. Recently, a customer came to us with a question: “Can your Standard PLA ensure smooth extrusion and no nozzle clogging during printing?”

This customer is an experienced 3D printing user. He had previously used PLA filament from another brand, and after just two rolls, the nozzle became clogged. Initially, he thought the issue was related to the printer’s temperature settings and tried adjusting the nozzle temperature multiple times, but to no avail. After troubleshooting, it became clear that the problem most likely lay with the filament itself.

In general, nozzle clogs caused by filament are often due to excessive impurities. Under high temperatures, these impurities expand and accumulate at the nozzle tip, blocking material flow. This not only reduces print quality but also requires frequent cleaning of the hot end, time-consuming and tedious. After multiple failed attempts, the customer decided to switch filaments. In a user group, he heard that NextShapes PLA filament had a good reputation, so he was interested in trying it out, but due to his prior poor experience, he came to inquire specifically about clogging issues.
