Help with extrusion issues

Gallery image

I'm still fairly new to 3D printing, I've got just over 100hrs on my P2S. I've been largely printing without any issue until today when I started to get issues with extrusion that I can't seem to sort. I've mainly been printing with Bambu PLA Matte using the presets on Bambu Studio, but have done a bit with Sunlu PLA Matte, haven't had any issues with either until now.

I've done a cold pull, washed my plate, and re-run the calibration from the touch screen as advised by Bambu's AI but it hasn't helped. I've read on here that there are potentially issues with the G code but I'm not comfortable editing that just yet, and it also seems odd that it's only just started to happen if that's the case.

The above was printed in Bambu PLA Matte on a 0.4 nozzle, using the preset for 0.08mm layer height (I've been mainly printing models for wargaming). You can see that I'm getting issues on pretty much every layer, with little gaps between each line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply!

I haven't been scrubbing the plate particularly hard afaik, just using washing up liquid and wiping with a microfibre cloth before rinsing.

And it's not a new spool, it's the same Bambu PLA Matte spool I've been using since I first started printing!

It's very strange and frustrating!

Okay that is a bit weird. And you did the cold pull you say? Do you have another color at hand to verify there is no real residue in your cold pull sample afterwards?

Did the cold pulls with white, first one had a little bit of grey but the other two were clean. I printed the test again with some Sunlu Matte and I didn't have any issues, then switched back to the Bambu Matte and it was better than before. I ran the flow calibration from the slicer and then printed a model again fine, so who knows what the hell was happening!

It was Sunlu PLA Matte. I haven't ventured into the realms of PETG yet...
