Last night I got my first jam. The extruder was making some crazy noises, so I thought something fell into the gears or a gear broke, so I took the extruder apart. Found no issues, so I took the hotend apart. No issues there either. Then I realized that the problem was a thick blob on the filament, that would not fit through the bowden cable.
Next time this happens, the filament will be the first thing I check, but I was wondering what steps you guys take to diagnose a jam before spending hours taking the whole machine apart.
