Ok so I actually found a good deal on Amazon Prime day for something that's useful (I think)…the direct sprite extruder is $30 off (in Canada). Seems to have good reviews, but I don’t know what it actually improves. My printer gets about as much TLC as my hammers, and aside from this under-extrusion bs I’ve been trying to figure out, it’s still banging out prints. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Not really, first thing is going to happen is it’s going to start under extruding and the flow is interrupted (trust me I have multiple ender 3’s, I’ve lived this :D )

Eventually no amount of adjusting will fix it, but at the start you’ll just get some weird layer lines, under extrusion, retraction issues. It’ll just get worse and worse

I REALLY hate the ender extruders hehe. I do have to admit they did train me to troubleshoot extruder issues really well though
