If the motor chews a divot in the filament then you need more idler tension. I use very high idler tension on pla - enough to crush abs into a half round.

I pulled the whole thing apart. There was some melted filament that leaked out above the heater block. I separated the hot end from the heatsink, and had a nice straight shot through the extruder body and the heatsink. I took the hot end apart, and polished the upper tube as good as I could.
I put it all back together, and same problem. When it was raised off the bed it would extrude forever. When i start a print, it would somehow jam up, while the motor, and both pulleys keep spinning. I switched from matter control to repetier, and it printed without a hitch. I would never guessed it was a software problem, but maybe mattercontroll was trying to feed too fast? I need to get in there, and learn the software better. Thanks for all the help. I'm going to go try some other filaments that I haven'the been able to use before.
