So looks like the nozzle needed replacing, the Amazon replacement nozzles came in and I’m doing a test print rn but do far so good. I’ll follow up when the print is done but it seems to have been the nozzle.

Should be close enough, using a sheet of paper when leveling. Watching the print I notice it doesn’t like to stick to the bed even when latered with glue stick.

Stock ender 3 with metal body

So the extruder seems fine I releveled the bed for the 20th time and even opened the hot end and cleaned it just incase, same issues. The filiment is pla + not glow in the dark but maybe the nozzle is worn out I’ll order new ones from Amazon and check back in when I can

Already upgraded to metal I’m just praying rn lol

Everything is fine when extruding with octo print, no noises or ripped filiment but when I hit print on any files even old ones it seems to start extruding in beads
