Under extrusion....

Hello all

Please can someone advise whats going on here?
Stock MINI with a silicone sock printing Spectrum PLA at 215 (or 205)

I am waiting for my Bondtech Heatbreak and I recently loosened my heatsink and got the PTFE TIGHT at the top to try maintain pressure for this problem).

Now, this PLA has been printing beautifully some days and horrid some others and I use this on all my machines, so its NOT the white and its NOT the filament (its dry).

Hello and welcome to the Prusaforum!

Have you ever looked at the extruder?
Maybe the drive pinions are clogged or the idler screw is set too low.

It is advisable to perform a "cold pull" from time to time and check the smooth running of the filament in the PTFE tube.
