Edit: Thanks to everyone for the help! Just an update.
Thanks to @nate3d and @IMALlama comments below I calibrated the e-steps that were very under and it improved a lot.
I left the filament on the dryer for 8 hours and tested again with a 20mm /s speed and 220 C print temp and it was better (picture below)
Just to answer you all saying it’s a clog or a hot end problem, it’s not, the whole hot end, includong nozzle, heat block and everything else, even the PTFE tube are all brand new and I checked before.
This is still the best I could achieve and It took 3 hours to print this benchy lol
‐-------- Hi everyone, I’m once again asking for your help lol Since I’ve tried to print with wood I totally wrecked my printer so I changed the hot end and am trying to set it all up again. Since my printer already came built and working I don’t have much experience with things like this so if you could help me I would be very thankful
What do I need to twerk to make it print better again?
I’m using Cura slicer and trying to print a benchy with the settings below:
Nozzle: 0.4
Layer: 0.2
Printing temp: 220 (it wont print with lower temp)
Speed: 60
Retraction distance: 7
Retraction speed: 70
Edit: PLA
That looks like a clog.
Try heating up the end, then removing the filament, then cut the filament flush and push it into the end, lower the temp a bit, and yank it out. Do that a few times to try and clear the clog. You can also heat the end, remove the nozzle, and clean it.
While it’s off, try pushing through some fresh filament by hand.
You were printing with wood, so it probably has wood particles stuck in it.
