I printed the last 10 kg of plastic for the DA from 1 kg spools.

I always calculated it so that there would be no need to run and change the spool in the middle of printing. I didn't want a break in printing to affect the quality of the products. While waiting for the quality check of the product, I decided to print something for myself from these remnants.

The scheme is as follows:
  • Start the print
  • Receive an error message (out of filament)
  • Go and insert new plastic (through the printer display 'Load')
  • Continue printing
  • And so on
After a while, I noticed that at the bottom of the printer (under the plate) there was poop. I thought, what is this, it probably happens, and I ignored it.

After a few iterations of interrupting the print to change the spool, I noticed that at the Purge stage (extruding old plastic after loading new) the plastic started sticking to the nozzle.

I manually peeled these things off and continued printing. I did this several times. Then I decided to read how to clean the nozzle. It requires some disassembly and blah blah. I didn't want to do that. So I removed the rubber sock from the nozzle, inspected all of it.
Manually (with slicer) I heated the nozzle and extruded plastic. There were no problems with that. But I noticed that the plastic clung to the overheated plastic on the nozzle and started to "dance".
So I carefully cleaned the nozzle with a knife and continued printing - the problems disappeared. For a while. Then the same thing happened again. But this time the print didn't even start, showing an error:
Heatbed homing abnormal [0300-400C 301606]
Heatbed homing abnormal [0300-400C 301606]
The link to the wiki was as follows:
https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/troubleshooting/hmscode/0300_0D00_0002_0001
It was there that I saw a solution to the error:
Clean the nozzle tip 
Normally, the printer will clean the nozzle automatically when print starts, but there is still a chance that the nozzle is not clean enough ):
This coincided with my assumption.
My assumption:
During a pause in printing (for loading new filament), the nozzle remains hot and the filament that slightly drips or remains on the edges gets scorched and burns.
It becomes the "hook" for the sticking of subsequent plastics.
When printing goes on without interruptions — this does not happen. The flow is stable, nothing has time to burn.
This is my observation. I do not claim scientific accuracy — in 3D printing there are a lot of variables, and the human factor has not been canceled either. But the situation repeated many times — and in each case after a series of pauses due to filament replacement.
If you have a series of pauses in printing for filament replacement — it wouldn't hurt to inspect the nozzle after finishing the print and, if necessary, carefully clean it. This may help avoid further problems with sticking or errors like "Heatbed homing abnormal".
