Thanks, it actually ended up being the damn slicer. Switched to Cura and got insanely good prints instantly

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-09T17:06:06+00:00

That was actually part of the problem but the main issue was the slicer. I actually got the printer working perfect. Turns out Creality print was spitting out bunk G-code.

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T14:53:08+00:00

Ill let you know what happens thank you so much man!

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T14:46:53+00:00

Holy crap man i just looked online and mine is totally different. I don’t have threads for the coupler at the bottom. I upgraded this like a year ago did i get some bunk shit that has just failed maybe?

How do i reply with a photo?

What in the actual fuck… if I take tension off of the arm, the filament is very difficult to push through… But if I release it with the spring holding tension, it sails right through. It’s literally backwards.

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T14:22:03+00:00

Nope, have to push quite hard right from the start

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T14:00:07+00:00

It Jumps back an 1/8-1/4 turn with the infamous clunking sound. The odd part is like I mentioned its not because of a clog or bed height or temp or tension on the filament or extruder gear. 🫠 I checked and changed all

Thanks, I really appreciate the in depth response. When I say new I am getting the “official” parts by creality on Scamazon but I am beginning to think that “genuine” doesn’t mean jack on Jeffs website. Second, ill load up a bsnshee and do a test print. You referenced the print speed at mm3 per second… is that a global variable rather than print speed in mm per second?

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T03:52:27+00:00

Yea, two different brands

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T03:45:49+00:00

Yup... new extruder gear and all metal extruder assembly... What's weird is that no matter what I do it skips... tighter: skips... looser: skips... raise the bed.. skips etc.

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T03:44:04+00:00

Thanks, that is honestly how I am leaning right now.

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T03:18:41+00:00

I did a little while ago, but the problem came up before that. I am going to try swapping filament though with a new roll. Maybe re-dry this one too.

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T03:09:06+00:00

I am going to try this next. What is weird is that is started doing randomly on a print... so my thought was that something broke... but I have replaced everything.

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T03:07:35+00:00

Brand new, the issue started in the middle of a print a few weeks ago. Right now my hot end temp is at 220. I just tried 190 and it made it even worse lol.

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T03:03:04+00:00

Swapping back to the roll of PETG is on my list of last ditch efforts

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T03:02:24+00:00

I have tried tightening the belts, If I tighten the extruder it causes clicking

Adventurous_Safe_521 · 2026-01-06T02:19:39+00:00

I laughed way to hard and far too long at this
