RE: Sad looking benchy

Caught by the update timer again

I have been doing some nextruder heart surgery today, main reason has been to try to make TPU printing a bit easier with this idler 1072020-mk4s-bogie-idler-main-plate and a magnet mod filament sensor. While in there I rebuilt the gearbox assembly and cleaned up, there were not much debris but enough to motivate a cleanup. Reassembly has gone well and all tests pass including gearbox alignment. Belts adjusted at 98/92. Dried Prusament PLA at 13% straight from the dryer. I did re-run input shaper calibration and phase stepping. First benchy likes a bit sad, my suspicion is uneven extrusion considering I have been playing with the idler, but how should the idler pressure be adjusted? Is there a procedure?
