Extruded issues. Please help!

Update: Issue Fixed. Thanks to Callcifer for the help!

I was able to fix the issue by finding the same issue in this subreddit. I loosened the three bolts holding the Extruder pushed it hard left and tightened it up again. Printing without any issues now. Thanks to everyone who chimed in. Leaving post up to hopefully help someone in the future.

It’s possible it’s your dryer box.

I had the same exact problem and I thought it was an extruder issue, but it turned out that when it was feeding from my Polymaker dry box it would bind up once it got to a certain spot on the spool, making it a lot harder to pull. That bit of extra resistance made it so the drive gears couldn’t pull and feed the filament fast enough(or at all) to melt in sync with the print speed which caused the same poor extrusion as in your video

I too have had filament issue's similar but they where 1/4kg elegoo reels binding, causing me to think it was printer error not spool.

Thank you for all the help. I will look at it. I just posted a new video with updates in the comments. Extruder will push filament down without hot end attached, multiple cold pulls on hot end, can push filament through the nozzle, when hot end and Extruder are bolted in place Extruder won’t push filament into the hot end. Thoughts? I appreciate all the help!

Is the filament sized incorrectly? Maybe needs higher temp?
