Prusa MK3S- PLA getting jammed during printing

Hello, I'm trying to print this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4382544 using PLA but somehow the filament got jammed during printing  https://ibb.co/k4CPnn2

Hard to say for sure, especially without knowing your settings. Zip up a 3MF project file with your part and settings and we can take a look.

When you encounter problems, it's always a good idea to just slow down. Dial the front knob back to 50% mid-print and see if that helps.

If it jammed while printing infill, you may simply have been printing too fast and the hotend couldn't keep up and wound up unable to push cold filament. Temps too low, layers too thin, or a sticky filled filament might contribute to a jam.

I set the Temp to Prusa's default 215 layer height 0.2mm
