Ive been trying to get my 3D printer to print properly since upgrading my Ender 3 Pro with an all metal direct drive hot end. I calibrated my esteps perfectly and they’re spot on, beds leveled although there is a bit of a dip in the middle, and my slicer has the right settings for this PLA that is new and just opened from the air tight bag. Not sure why im getting these weird first layers.
Slicer settings: 200c hot end 60c bed 50mm/s
Filament recommendations 190-220c hot end 25-70c bed 50mm/s
X-Steps 80mm Y-Steps 80mm Z-Steps 400mm E-Steps 437.6mm
Any recommendations of what to try?
I second the jam idea, it’s probably a clogged nozzle.
