My printer was not printing straight down but would constantly make a curl. My friend and I tried to fix it but decided our time was better spent if we just switched our 0.4 mm nozzle with another 0.4 mm nozzle that my friend luckily already had. The issue was not really fixed but it was better but the new nozzle included another issue it seems, now the printer is under extruding the filament heavily. I'm not sure if it's the nozzle or something else inside. I'm asking for help cause I don't really have time to figure it out right now :/
Thanks in advance!

It's a Prusa i3 MK3S
red bronze
may be partially clogged
try doing a cold pull
curling means its not adhering to the bed
need to check your level
and offset how close the nozzle is to the bed

Oh my goodness! Thanks for the response. I've been so extremely busy the last two days.
Is curling usually referred to when talking about bed adhesion? I might have misunderstood something. The issue is that the plastic clumps up from the nozzle; before touching the bed. I did try to do a cold pull but I should maybe watch a video on doing a proper cold pull.
Lastly I did calibrate my machine after changing the nozzles but got stuck on first layer calibration step. When I did that step I noticed first of all that the beginning looked fine expect for the curling plastic which I removed with tweezers just before the calibration started, and then after like 2 cm of plastic being extruded the plastic would suddenly decrease into almost nothing so that there was only an extremely thin line being extruded. I went from the lowest number to the highest number a few times and concluded that it was not the calibration that was wrong but something inside the printer head. I did this test a few times and it was the same every time.
