Hi! I'm having trouble with printing text on my ender 3. Today i upgraded my printer to glass bed and new dual drive extruder. The print with "FloVer" shows it before the upgrades and the second one after. I also updated software to marlin. Can someone help?

Oh and i forgot. I changed the nozzle to 0.8mm

teal wasp Oh and i forgot. I changed the nozzle to 0.8mm

Esteps is step 1 and step 2 is to calculate flow using proper calipers (metal)

#

From there this issue should leave

#

And since you changed the nozzle to a bigger one you may need to check if your actually sending the correct amount for the 0.8mm nozzle to the width that's stated inside the alicer

Details will be expectedly worse with a 0.8mm nozzle.

#

Co i guess i will print low detail prints on 0.8mm and high detail at 0.4 or 0.6

#

I think thats a good approach

#

But tommorow i will try previously mentioned suggestions
