Will do and cheers! I'll message you on reddit. I recently posted a problem on there as my X motor lowered and ruined my print

Hmmm, That's not a good thing but it sounds like if I had super cooling on it might help it. That's not a good design of them, I only just got this like 5 days ago so I hope I dont fall into the same boat. Is it cool if we keep in touch? I would like to learn off you more and maybe help each other out in the future

yeah it is. Knowing that is concerning. I'm using the Ender 5 pro so it comes with the silent chip motherboard and if that's the case then it's not good. But I do believe I have over 1 year warranty incase that is to be the problem. So far my prints are looking much better than before, and I managed to print those small rings at a good quality (Just need to sand the lines off the surface). I have that at a flow rate of 80 with the current E-step. I hope it doesnt fall into the same problem as yours also. And I did notice when I very first used the printer, it extruded fine I believe when printing my first piece but then printing over things, it was under-extruding which led me to calibrating everything like right now.

I say over-extruding because the cube I printed seems a bit overly-done everywhere (Like too much has been extruded, which I think I need to change the flow rate). If this method is right of course for what I'm doing.

I thought I did at first but I believe I'm now over extruding. I fixed the bed level to make sure it was not touching the surface too much which solved a part of it, and then I've seen this guide: Which explains what I had to do to make it calibrate properly if that's right. Although doing it, It turns my E-steps at 93 was only extruding 64 mm which I still find strange as running the formula 9300/(100/64) = equals 258.3 E steps (which got recalculated to 269 E steps later on) seemed to properly extrude 100mm. If that is what you mean by recalibrating then I have just done that. but not looking for a lower flow rate and concerned why the E step number seems so dramatically high compared to other people's calculations.

I downloaded it, it worked better compared to the rest. it still occured though. Iv switched the filament as the previous filament was the starter filament but I can't get it to stick anymore to the bed on the settings you provided, so I will be checking again to see if it's any better now on default. Seems to have also given me a better quality result too.

That's very true in your point and I'm seeing your view on your description. The current test results are improved compared to the previous setting but they're not quite there. What would you recommend I change the settings to? I'm still a learner of 3D printing. I also have a curious question, with the current print settings I had before, would they be fine for printing bigger items? but what if I used a small setting instead (lets say perfected this tiny piece) on a big piece? Would there be a problem? would it be even sharper of a print?

On Cura, what should I edit to make sure the nozzle is at .4? (I found it nvm)

You seem to know your stuff. is there a formula for printing at size or a recommended table? I'll try the settings on .4 and 50mm/s and keep you updated

File here. cheers. CE5_RINGS111.3mf

I’m using the ultimaker cura with an ender 5 pro and I’m having this consistent issue with my print which keeps doing this as seen in the picture. I don’t know why it is doing it. When I use creality, it prints it better but I am using cura because I believe it is better and will give me a better quality print, though I can’t overcome this problem without wasting lots of filament. I have checked my extruded and everything, it is none of that. It is something to do with the software and I am unsure what it is. I am a beginner also.
