Hey guys:
Ender 3 V2 with direct drive
Flow 100%
Retraction 0.2
Speed 100mm/s

Did a flow tower before and looked bad from start, did a benchy for the fun of it and looked better than expected but still horrible.

Any advice appreciated!

seems that there is a problem with the flow either inside of the hotend or when it leaves the nozzle. check for clogs. try to lower the speed

Ensure you have the proper nozzle diameter set in Cura, also, if you edited the firmware make sure the esteps are correct

I have the right nozzle in, and I did not edit the filmware, yet I made sure the esteps are almost perfect

If it was bowden Id assume a void in the hotend, but that's unlikely on DD

It’s direct drive

Possible partial clog? Its's definitely an underextrusion issue, as for its cause, that's a bit more difficult to determine without physically seeing it. What temp are you running it at, what are your retraction settings, what temp

#

Is this PLA
