#Many of my recent prints have had under extrusion mid print. Why does this keep happening?

Under-extrusion is a common 3D printing problem, and it can be caused by several factors. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot:
-
Check the nozzle: Make sure there isn't any clogging or debris in the nozzle that is restricting the flow of the filament.
-
Check the extruder gear: Make sure that the extruder gear is properly gripping the filament and isn't worn out or damaged.
-
Check the filament: Make sure that the filament diameter is consistent throughout the spool. Inconsistent filament diameter can cause under-extrusion.
-
Increase the extrusion multiplier: If everything else checks out, try increasing the extrusion multiplier setting in your slicer. This will tell the printer to extrude more filament than it is currently.
Hopefully, one of these solutions will help you resolve your under-extrusion issue.
