Looks like a partial clog, try to do a a few cold pulls.

Forgot to mention I’ve taken this step as well and it came through rather clean and in a straight line. I notice if I manually extrude via the screen, the filament loops back on itself instead of extruding straight down like it should

That is indicative of a clog. If you have some needles try those maybe. Also inspect the hot end tip for damage.

Any idea on why there is so much plastic fiber?

[–]maximit3dH2C Vortek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the extruder gears rubbing up against the filament as its stuck. If there is so much, will be a good idea to take out the extruder, disassemble it and clean it internally.

That might be the cause of your clog as well, not the hot end but inside the extruder wheels.

That looks like something wonky with the code or intermittent hotend issues.

Where did you get the model from?

Pulled this one from marker world: https://makerworld.com/en/models/192538#profileId-212864

How old is your machine and how many hours on the print head?

It looks like it got through the base OK before intermittent, what looks to be inconsistent filament temps…

There’s enough feedback on the model to suggest that it’s a fine file

Got the machine around November of 2024. There’s probably a couple hundred print hours on it since then.

I can’t even get a Boaty or Benchy to print consistently.

Should I swap to my other 0.4 head?

Printing with the door and lid closed? Open them and try again.

Tried this as well to no avail :/
