It underextrude at mid printing, i already lower the retraction distance AMD still keep happening

If you are experiencing underextrusion during the middle of a print despite lowering the retraction distance, there are a few other possible causes you may want to check:

  1. Filament Quality: Poor quality or old filament can lead to inconsistent extrusion. Try a different spool of filament to see if the issue persists.

  2. Clog in Nozzle: A partial clog in the nozzle can also cause underextrusion. Try cleaning the nozzle or replacing it if needed.

  3. Hotend Temperature: Ensure that the hotend temperature is stable and consistent throughout the print. Fluctuations in temperature can affect extrusion.

  4. Extruder Calibration: Check if your extruder steps/mm are properly calibrated. Incorrect calibration can lead to underextrusion issues.

  5. Print Speed: Printing too fast can also cause underextrusion. Try reducing the print speed to see if it improves the extrusion.

By checking these factors, you may be able to pinpoint the cause of underextrusion ...

Hi @restive haven hav you tried cleaning the nozzle?

And are you using quality filament?

#

See list for some good filament

It prints well then underextrude then well and like that

Does it do it no matter what you print?

Any further info i'll end up giving you will be from here unfortunately. I'm good with basic issues.

It should take you right to how to fix the commons problems of inconsistent underextrustion....

You’re here because you’ve either just had a complete 3D print failure, or your prints aren’t quite perfect. We don’t settle for less than perfect, so we

  • try printing hotter and slower
  • check the consistency of the filament diameter.
  • filament has been chewed \ ground up by the extruder (check for filament coloured dust in the extruder)
