Under-extrusion can occur due to several reasons. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow:

Check the filament: Make sure the filament is not tangled or knotted and that it is the correct diameter for your printer. Also, ensure that it is not too old or moisture-contaminated, as this can cause under-extrusion.
Clean the nozzle: A clogged or partially blocked nozzle can lead to under-extrusion. Heat up the nozzle and carefully clean it using a needle or a nozzle cleaning tool. Be cautious not to damage the nozzle.
Calibrate the extruder: It's possible that the extruder steps may need to be calibrated. You can do this by measuring the length of filament that is actually being extruded and comparing it with the expected value. Adjust the extruder steps accordingly.
Check the extruder tension: Ensure that the tension of the extruder spring is properly set. If it's too loose, the filament may not be fed consistently, resulting in under-extrusion.
Verify the...

Maybe a partial clog also kind of looks like you z offset is too low

Ok I guess direct drive could be different is this you first time printing with it

#

?

#

No

#

This randomly popped up

#

With my new filament

#

Now its happening with old filament

inland trellis Sep 14, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

Hmm

#

Maybe just adjust the e steps and see if that works

#

Also calibrate the z offset ?zoffset

? Zoffset

I leveled my printer a bunch, i dont think severe of underextrusion would be caused

inland trellis Sep 14, 2023, 9:55 PM

Well if you recently levelled without changing z offset that will do it you will need to calibrate z

I moved my z limit switch a bit to fix that cause I switched to PEI

Do you know what z offset is

inland trellis Do you know what z offset is

How would I do that on my ender 3 v2

Movement scroll zoffset

Theres an option for that?

#

I cant find one

inland trellis Sep 14, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

Yes! If you have never adjusted it this can cause many issues

#

Maybe in the settings

#

It’s there just look around

novel quartz Sep 14, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

Not at my printer rn, ive checked before multiple times and its not there

#

What section would it be under

inland trellis Sep 14, 2023, 10:01 PM

#

I’m not sure if you have a v2 it should be under movement but I guess I just can’t say i have a Neo v1

#

Just look up how to calibrate z offset

novel quartz Sep 14, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

I think only printers with Abl have the z offset in the menu

#

Oh set home offsets

#

But it never lets me click it

#

It just beeps loudly

Trying to get the full picture of your situation here.

So printing fine, new filament and you get the cube at the top? Nothing else changed since your last successful print?

I'm thinking maybe a clog since it's after a filament change.

#

Did you notice your extruder clicking during this print?
