MK4 -> MK4s upgrade, now nothing but problems
MK4 kit built myself. Probably had 5 failed prints in the 8+ months I have had it printing almost exclusively PETG. Did the 4->4s upgrade and now I get layer shifts, blobs, continued extrusion after cancelling a print (the gears are still pushing filament into the extruder), and just generally an unusable printer. I have recalibrated everything multiple times. Uninstalled, deleted the folders and reinstalled PrusaSlicer. When I cancel the print I bring up nozzle temp to clean the stuck filament, then I try to raise the Z axis. I put in a setting but it takes the printer sometimes 30 seconds to acknowledge I told it to move. Honestly this is worse than a $100 knock off from eBay and I have no clue where to start. I wish I had never bought what was really a few CF parts for the upgrade. Does anyone have any ideas on what else I might try?

Well, for anyone that ends up here I believe I found the culprit. The thumbscrews holding the nozzle were just a bit loose, allowing the nozzle to move just enough to mess up the print constantly. Running a print now to confirm but it looks like that was the issue.
