I didn't even notice the thermistor was on the OTHER SIDE of the heating cartridge from the nozzle - what were they thinking? At first, I liked the concept of being able to pull the entire filament path out of the hot end without having to disassemble it. In hindsight, given the price, that probably means a replacement nozzle will cost $50 :>

I looked at the Pico, and it looks like it would have a similar problem, a very large heater block area

I posted exactly how and why it jams consistently, it's not my opinion. I didn’t even mention how unless you use high temp sealant upon assembling it leaks like late term pregnant women. There's also Trinity's crap customer service, it's epic; search the RepRap forum for Trinity Labs.
Purple = sarcasm

Please do a board search before posting your question, many have been answered with very time consuming detail already.

I've had the most luck getting PLA not to jam by either rebuilding the hot end (to make sure no plastic leaked to a place where it's not supposed to be) or drying the filament. PLA that fights tooth and nail can print like butter after I take it out of my filament dryer, which is just a sealed bucket with some molecular sieve dessicant in the bottom.
