My printers do this from time to time where they just ignore everything i did tl make them work and start using factory values.
It always pisses me off but usually once i find which setting it is i put it to what it needs to be and it's done.
It's been 3 days of me giving my printer new e step values with zero result.
At first i adjusted the start gcode in cura but now i'm also using an empty print file with settings and it has no effect.
I have a 30:1 extruder and the values i used so far go from 92 all the way up to 33.000, it actually extruded more at 92 then it did at 33k. The extruded amount seems to be random compared to the e steps i put in, i don't really know what is happening.
I checked the extruder gears and they look brand new.
It has a serious case of ghosting/ringing and it also is unable to print the tip of a sword properly.
In my attempt to fix these it has only gotten worse as it now also has ugly edges, they look almost burned even though i llwered the temperature by one degree celsius.
I put a direct drive extruder on it, it was not printing succesfully when it was still bowden.
So far i've played around with the print speed a little, lowered the travel speed and printed some big corners pieces to make the frame more rigid.
It seems the slight layer shifting inconsistencies have gotten a bit better.
I think a large part of these issues come from the printer being so big and the weight of the direct drive extruder.
I haven't been able to upload a picture and have no clue how to do it, the ringing is basically all over and the top 10mm look like a little lighting ⚡️instead of a smooth pointy tip.
