Hi guys,

I’m not necessarily looking for support, as this is my solution (hopefully) for my under-extrusion problem.

I have been having under extrusion problems with a roll of “El-Cheapo” yellow PLA. I checked to see if it was a case of the pin working its way out of the extruder, but nope, everything was where it belonged.

I had come across a post where the poster had discovered the filament was too hard for the extruder to pull.

So I disconnected the tube from the connector in the mid-point of the run and I’m running the filament without a bowden tube for the last .6M (2 feet).

This seems to have fixed the problem as for this print at least, it is printing fine.
