Under extrusion can be caused by a few different factors including a clogged nozzle, an incorrect nozzle temperature, inadequate filament tension, or mechanical issues with the extruder. Mid-print under extrusion could be caused by a loose bowden tube, feeding issues, or filament slipping.

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following:

1. Check your filament tension and ensure that it's not too tight or too loose

2. Check the nozzle to make sure it's not clogged with debris

3. Make sure that your nozzle temperature is correct for the filament you're using

4. Make sure that the extruder gears are clean and properly gripping the filament

5. Check that the bowden tube is securely fastened to the extruder and hotend

6. Try adjusting the flow rate or extrusion multiplier in your slicer software

7. Check for any mechanical issues with the printer and make sure that everything is aligned and functioning properly.

Hopefully, these steps will help you diagnose and fix the pr...

check the filament diameter on a few points, at like 1-2 meters of filament to see how consistent it is

best case its 1.75mm +- 0.05mm, worst case 1.75 +-0.2mm
