#Please help with under-extrusion
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
There could be several reasons why your prints are under-extruding:
-
Clogged nozzle: If a new nozzle was installed, it's possible that there is a blockage in the nozzle. Try using a nozzle cleaning tool to clear any potential debris or filament.
-
Filament diameter: Double-check that your slicer software and printer settings are set correctly to your filament's diameter. Using an incorrect filament diameter can cause under-extrusion or over-extrusion.
-
Print speed: Printing too fast can cause under-extrusion. Try slowing down the print speed to allow the printer to keep up with the filament flow.
-
Temperature: Temperature can also affect the flow of filament. Try increasing the temperature slightly and see if the under-extrusion resolves.
-
Extruder gear: The gear that feeds filament into the nozzle can wear down or become damaged over time. Inspect the extruder gear for any signs of wear and replace if necessary.
I hope this helps troubleshoot your printing issue!
