craftbot3 blocks every day

Hello, so i have 3 craftbot3 and everyday at least 1 extruder is jammed. it starts with the filament jamming . then i have to open it and clean the heatbreak then it starts again and usually between 6 exturuders at least 1 or 2 per day jam. sometimes i just  push the filament and it starts again. so the problems are quite different, either with retraction or with heatsink, or with the tension on the motor that pushes the filament.

I have a craftbot+ , and had the same problems.

I use hairspray on the glasplate and made the failure to make the first layer to thin.
The extruder cant put the PLA on the glas and the exttuder scratcht to the hairspray and this comes in the extruder and Block the opening in the fitst 3 layers.

In the software you can adjust the first layer.

PLA gives me never trouble, PET sometimes.

I hope this will  help you.
