I have been getting these lines where there seems to be not enough filament extruded accompanied by some clocking noises (not really grinding). Recently I got a few errors about stuck filament as well.
I did a few cold pulls but there wasn’t any debris to be seen and the three ends (cht) were clearly visible.
Noises, pattern and errors persist.
Pla, core one, max layer with 0.4 nozzle.
Any help appreciated
That happens to me with some bad filament. It gets stuck in a blob inside the printer head between the hot end and the gears pulling in the filament.
I have to take apart the printer head and pull the hardened blob out. I actually have to do it now.
Since I have the end of the pulled filament and can see the 3 times split from the cht the blob is either not there OE inside one or more of the smaller channels after the split.
InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago Nozzle might also just be too close to the bed.
Mine did a kind of of “tock” sound when it struggled to extrude.
That should atop after a few layers though, right?
InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 13 hours ago Not necessarily since the initial layers don’t have the space to be squished properly, subsequent layers can show the same problem, except they’re too close to the previous layer instead of the bed itself.
That said, the picture didn’t load before but now it does.
Qith the picture, this looks kinda like wet filament to me where it’ll kinda bubble here and there.
I’ve also spent way too much time hunting down underextrusion what was ultimately just the filament that had a weird undersized diameter like 1.6mm.
Diameter that’s off but consistent through the roll can be compensated for in the slicer, inconsistent diameter not so much.
Without knowing what printer you have I offer this advice:
Does your printer keep the temperature? I had a creality cr6 that underextruded and in my case it was bad capacitors on the heating element circuit.
It is a core one and the temp does seem stable
Timpostma@mastodon.world 19 hours ago @prenatal_confusion @BigDanishGuy I got a #3DPrinting prusa core one my question is name every thermoplastic type you used then see if that’s why it is clogged imagine if someone used aluminium to extrude & then tried wax that’s why I am asking
If temp is stable try having a look at the filament. Is the extruder grinding the filament?
It could also be a case of a blocked nozzle. Though that doesn’t explain the stuck filament.
When starting with an unpowered printer, i.e. the first print after powering printer up, does the issue happen at any part of the print, or only after a little while?

How about your filament path? Is there high resistance? The filament roll, is it hard to roll on your filament holder? How about reverse bowdens?
Is the extruder gear too tight or too loose?

I found that new rolls seem to not want to unroll as easy because of the weight. If I have this problem, it’s usually on a new roll.
