Hey everyone, I've been printing for a very long time and I've never had this issue. I just recieved the Elegoo Neptune Max 3 and decided to do a simple print of a gumball machine. After it was done I took it off the print bed and as I pulled it off it just shattered and crumbled into pieces. It had no structural integrity whatsoever you could just rip it apart like cotton candy. So I googled it and it said that I'm under extruding is what it sounds like or the filament is too moist. The filament is brand new out of the bag and so I increased the temperature of my printer from 200 to 215 and try it again and it did the exact same thing. Then I just tried a new roll of filament just in case and it did the same thing three times in a row. So I'm sure it's just a setting in cura which will fix all this but since this is never happened in my lifetime I don't know what that setting would be. I went through a bunch of YouTube videos and websites and couldn't find the setting I'm looking for. I'm using sunplu filament and I currently have the cr-10s and I'm just using the exact same settings from that for the Neptune which could also be the problem because the cr-10s is printed perfect since day one.

Clogged nozzle? Also, from the pictures it looks like you could be printing with just one wall.

#

A clogged nozzle would lead to underextrusion. Or you could be retracting too much if the neptune max 3 is a direct drive.

The nozzle isn't clogged. It is a direct drive. I upped the walls and showed down the print. Starting a new print now
