So when I start a print the first layer I print with TPU won't connect with eachother and thus leaves gaps between the lines.
Another weird thing is that the quality worsens the more it goes to the right for some reason.
I have dried my filament, leveled the bed, cleaned the bed, adjusted the z height multiple times, replaced the nozzle, tried using the unclogging rod thingy just in case, did a cold pull and at this point I don't know what to do.

Increase flow til its good

I'll try that but having the flowrate be the cause of the fact the quality worsens the more it goes to the right wouldn't really make sense

Did you perhaps print a filamemt that runs cooler before the tpu like pla. Pla tends to carbonize at tpu tempuratures and restrict the nozzle. Those elegoo heads arent fun working in, i just slapped on new one on the neptune 4 pro when mine started under extruding.

The bed or x axis can still tilt 🙂
X axis??

Last time I printed with PLA was a big while ago but I did try to do a cold pull with a piece of PLA
I've replaced the nozzle multiple times with new ones

How old is the ptfe tube
frail pumice
It also curls a bit upward for some reason even though I've replaced the nozzle
frail pumice
How old is the ptfe tube
Like a year old I think
I've never laid my hands on that since idk what it does and how to replace it
wary pine
It might be a little mushroomed before the hotend
frail pumice
Ohh
wary pine
Its a pain to replace on the elegoo heads. Definitely possible but not fun. Most printers come with a foot of repelacement PTFE tube
frail pumice
Yeah a replacement one came with it but idk if I should try to replace it or buy a whole new head all together
wary pine
I had a second head just so i can print and work on the old head when i feel like suffering
They jam so much into that head its not even funny
frail pumice
Ripp
I think I'll buy a new head then
Is it a pain to replace the head or is it not much trouble?
wary pine
Its like 6 screws and the quick connect cable

Good news i tried getting to the ptfe tube and its not so bad
Take your nozzle out first that way you can clean out the heat block with a little drill bit
Carbon buildup in the heat block can also backup the head

X axis the thing the extruder is on...

Oh thanks for letting me know lmao

Doesn't sound too good

Oh that thing
