little sneak peekDid you calibrate the z steps when you swapped the extruder?
Ah, was thinking down by the nozzle. You said you have an all metal extruder, assuming aftermarket. Wonder if you could replace or trim the spring on it?
I think the new pla you ordered, will probably help.
My understanding is the pla is basically corn starch, and it will get softer when its full of moisture.
My pla leaves a very slight imprint but nothing bad enough to wedge in the tube.
There's an aftermarket extruder that's had some good reviews and isn't terribly expensive if the pla/spring doesn't help.

Was thinking about picking one up.
I believe he is just using the standard cura profile currently.It's actually the opposite.. water soaked pla gets brittle, not softer...
@FatCatRC ...If the Hobbed gear is pinching the filament to the point it enlarges, then it's being run over to many times..
What's your retraction distance? And speed?
What's your retraction minimum travel?
What's your maximum retraction count?
What's your minimum extrusion distance window?
As for the picture... Is coasting enabled, if so what's the value?
What is your maximum resolution setting?
The pimples it leaves looks like a momentary stall at which it raises per layer.. I assume your z seem is set to random with the behavior shown.. watch the machine and when the zits happen.. does it stall for a split second?.. incorrect maximum resolution can stall the processor..
The gaps for sure look like moisture pops, especially if in vase mode.. but do not rule out an incorrect coasting volume if it's enabled..
The bottom line is a clean smooth print all depends on slicer settings.. even the crappiest machines can produce stunning prints if the slicer is setup correctly..
The extruder I did yes, that the board and the bl touch were my first upgrades. The hot end I have not done yet.
That is a lot of fancy settings I have no idea about. I litterally just started using cura. Never done anything in 3d before. This is all new. I have been watching lots of videos but it's a lot to learn. And some like to do gcode while others use cura so it's hard to find consistent info on things like settings and layers etc. I was thinking it was retracting quite far and fast myself but I haven't touched those settings. When I was doing my cover for my goggles that has a lot of holes in the design it would retract back and forth constantly for the first few layers to make that design. Thats when the most problems happenedIt's actually the opposite.. water soaked pla gets brittle, not softer...

Have you tried using the CHEP profiles? What version of Cura are you running? What firmware? What board revision?The extruder I did yes, that the board and the bl touch were my first upgrades. The hot end I have not done yet.

I have no idea what a chep is. I'm using what ever version cura downloaded for me.Have you tried using the CHEP profiles? What version of Cura are you running? What firmware? What board revision?
I can HIGHLY recommend you check out these profiles.I have no idea what a chep is. I'm using what ever version cura downloaded for me.
Thank you, ya I know fak all about cura or 3d printers. The first time I tried cura was when I got the printer.
Yep I’m not far behind. I’ve had a printer for a year or so and just passing along what I’ve found helpful. I tried to change way too many things at once and lost track of what caused my issues. Definitely don’t do that. Get it dialed in and only change things that really need upgraded for a specific reason.Thank you, ya I know fak all about cura or 3d printers.

I have a pro, the firmware wouldn't work.I picked one up off someone's site for the e3 v2 w/ 4.2.7 board and it worked well. I'd think it'd work for you... I'll see if I can find the site again. Last one I had to compile for myself because of the ender extender bed.

There's a 4.2.7 load on there. I used his build on my original bltouch and it worked beautifully. Good luck
How does the filament exit the dehydrator during printing? Any chance you have a pic of the setup?Yep I bought a food dehydrator to feed my spools from. I have had great results ever since.

Does anyone have or can compile me a working firmware that requires no configuring for an ender 3 pro with bltouch 3.1(stock mount) and 4.2.7 board? I don't care what flavour you have/use as long as it works.
Yep drilled a hole and put a boden tube fitting in the hole as a guideHow does the filament exit the dehydrator during printing? Any chance you have a pic of the setup?
