  1. These symptoms are generally caused by friction in the extrusion path. First, you should make sure the spool of filament can unspool freely.

  2. Sculpting should be the tool you are looking for. You can find a lot of sculpting software on the web, including free ones. I personally use Meshmixer and Blender for simple works.

  3. Obviously, your extrusion process is troubled by a lot of pressure. This can be seen from the extensive experiment you conducted with PLA extrusion at different temperatures.

  4. Okay, so after yet another frustrating night of troubleshooting. I believe I have identified the specific problem.

  6. The PLA isn't advancing as fast as the gcode requires. Since you've already tried higher temperatures, try printing at half the speed (F value).

  7. This is probably the filament. I've had the exact same issue on my Ender 3 Pro and solved it by baking the filament. I suggest you try with another filament just to make sure.

  8. A close inspection of what happened when printing the first layer resulted in this: The missing steps on the new print came from the nozzle scraping too close to the print surface, which lead to no first layer…

  9. You should add M420 S command after G28 to Start G-code. According to Marlin docs , G28 command disables bed leveling by default. Alternatively, you can change the RESTORE_LEVELING_AFTER_G28 value to true in firmware.

  10. For an easy test, try manually pulling the filament through the U-loop of guide tube. How hard is it to pull through? It should only take 1-2 lbs of tension at most. Then do a "tug test" on the extruder.

  11. TL;DR: Don't do that. Detailed answer: You need motion limit parameters that actually make physical sense, and firmware capable of executing a motion plan according to them.

  12. I think you are pushing filament too fast. Let's go back to the basics: my hotend (old Ubis, ceramic) and extruder can push PLA at 230°C at max 80 mm/s * 0.5 mm line width * 0.2 mm layer height = 8 mm 3 /s.
