Posted · Underextrusion at top left corner of bed

My guess would be higher friction in the bowden due to the more extreme curve on that position. It's basically why I made this;

though this should probably not be necessary with a good feeder....

 

Nevertheless, using a PTFE Bowden tube 8-12" longer than OEM will reduce friction considerably.

Here's the stuff you want: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KJDE67G Also comes in 10" length.

Some measured numbers for this reduced friction would be interesting. Are you referring to total friction or friction per length?

    Total friction. You won't need numbers if you try it out - the difference is immediately obvious if you disengage the feeder drive cog and slide the filament into the tubing - much less friction.
