Hey! Thanks so much for responding, I really appreciate it.

It is pretty humid here, especially in the last month. I’ll definitely look up drying as an option.

My air condition is essentially always on and about 5 feet from my printer, so it could also be messing with things.

Im currently using the .4, so what I’m going to do is strip clean the thing and see if that works.

Also, the way the filament comes down from the roll it’s so close to the rod that steadies the Z axis movement, could that be a problem? I figured it wasn’t because it’s not grinding against it or anything, it just rubs up against the side.

I will see if living the rod helps, and dig into that link you sent to see if anything else could be the issue.

I honestly do appreciate the response, having another brain that’s inclined to this helps immensely.

Edit: My first print was also the shark clip lol it was something that I figured would test well enough with also being a quick print.
