Troubleshooting: Beading during print

[Deleted User] · 2023-11-01 17:00:27

I've swapped filament, changed out extruder arm/gears, different bed, cleaned nozzel, and using files I've orinted many times before. Any ideas what causes this? Hope some of the old posters still keep an eye on this forum

2 things that spring to mind. 1. Is there any possibility the filament may have absorbed some humidity? 2. Have you set the flow rate/E-steps?

Yeah thought of the humidity angle too. Swapped out filaments.

I had everything set perfectly for the files I was reprinting but, yeah, tried to tweak settings to no avail

It's not extruding enough plastic. You might have a partial clog in the nozzle, see if doing a cold pull fixes the issue
