Do you have some pictures you could show us?
#first layer print quality and extrusion got worse for seemingly no reason

am i supposed to recalibrate my Z offset each time i put the printer on it's side? Does that mess with how it's placed or something?
Yeah im gonna take a picture in a minute
echo hazel
perfect

im thinking it might be something much simpler like a jam

Or thats waayyyy to close
or that's a clog/jam
Option 3: one of the extruder wires got lose
radiant yacht
it could be that
radiant yacht
yeah i dunno
I cleared the nozzle and checked the wiring
and it's still not doing it
i guess i have to set z offset again?
is that a thing? Do you just have to set Z offset every now and then?
i remember having to set Z offset when i first installed klipper for example even though it should have been in the EEPROM
yeah i think somethign went wrong with the extruder
the motor is moving, i see it moving
but filament isn't.

I checked everything

If you extruder mid air
Does it even extrude?
If not check the gears, they might be clogged up with filament grindings, check if it sounds normal, sometimes one of the cables breaks,

I tried to check if it would extrude in mid aid by lowering the bed and then sending Gcode
nothing happened
tried to jam it manually
nothing happened
Hot pull, reinsert
some came out
try and print, nothing happened

But did you check the wires?
Sometimes the pins that go into the connectors disconnect slightly or are bend and don't connect fully, I've had that happen with my x motor plenty of times
What hotend and extruder are you running?

But did you check the wires?
yes
