Hi so my printer was fine until oneday a print finished with some under extrusion, when I check it seems to extruded in little beads (which combine into blobs as seen in the photo) during prints but not when told to extrude through octo print. Brand new filiment so humidity isn’t an issue, I’ve tried leveling the bed (glass with bltouch), using glue stick, cleaning the nozzle, I cleaned the hot end, sniped down the bowing tube and made sure it was flush with the nozzle. I’m at my whits end and am about to start praying to the omnisiere for divine intervention. Any help would be appreciated.

    If the extrusion looks normal with octoprint and weird when doing a real print, how far is your nozzle off the bed? If it’s too high you’ll get stringy looking prints due to not enough squish.

    I suspect when you were using octoprint the nozzle wasn’t on the bed, but it was for the “real” print.

      Should be close enough, using a sheet of paper when leveling. Watching the print I notice it doesn’t like to stick to the bed even when latered with glue stick.
