Printing with PLA on Flashforge Finder - Suddenly the prints are very brittle, the layers come apart like straw. Any Ideas?

Has anything changed since the last known good print? Some things to check: Check a different spool of filament. Make sure the extruder/hotend fan is working. Make sure the thermistor didn’t come loose. Verify your slicer settings for nozzle width and temperatures.

No, Happened in the middle of a Print. Wondering if its a partial nozzle blockage? If so Anyone cleaned a Finder Nozzle?

Should be the same as the creator and other Mk style nozzles. Quickest way, turn up the nozzle temp and push through a lot of plastic 100mm+ If you have a nozzle cleaning drill bit (on amazon and eBay) you can run that through the nozzle a few times while it’s hot and then extrude plastic. If it’s a bad clog and neither of the above work, remove the nozzle and torch it with butane or propane.
