My print failed. On examination the filament was not all the way along the tube. When I tried to feed the filament through the hot end it appeared to be mainly blocked and I wasn't able to unblock it with cold pulls etc.

Took 3D printer apart and cleared out filament build up in the the PTFE tube (no excessive roughness), metal base and cold pulled the interior of the nozzle. I found smooth filament flow once I had completed. Thanks to Jackie as she guided me through this dissembling process. Jackie to now check with a test print.
