  1. Check and clean the nozzle: Ensure that the nozzle is clean and free of any debris or partial clogs. You can do this by removing the nozzle and using a nozzle cleaning tool or a small, thin wire to clear out any blockages.

  2. Calibrate the extruder: Ensure that the extruder is calibrated correctly by adjusting the steps per mm in the firmware of your printer.
