I spent the WHOLE day trying to fix my #Ender3 3D printer with no success...
It seems that I have an under extrusion issue but I tried
- Slower speed
- Higher temperature
- Recalibrating the extruder
- Changed the Bowden PTFE tube
- Changed the nozzle and cleaned the hot end.

Prints are still shit... Now it's either I go and buy new parts again, or just give up and save a bit to get a new one that is more user friendly (thinking of the #bambulab P1P... But I need to explore a bit)

@zeantwan Did you try a different filament? Sadly, this is life with an Ender of any variety.

@jumblies The thing is that it used to work just fine with this filament, and suddenly stopped. It could be that I'm near the end of the spool, but I don't want to waste 200g of plastic because my printer won't feed it right...

@zeantwan I've had the same. I thought " it can't be the filament ". But low and behold. I put a new spool on and it worked great. It was a head scratcher.

@jumblies I'll have a go at swapping filament then! But this hassle led me to buy the direct drive update kit (only £30) so worst case it will also allow me to print flexible filament.
Thanks for the advice 🙂
