Thank you. I recently replaced that gear as well, and the problem has gotten a bit better. I’ll be sure to check everything you just mentioned.
I tightened the tension arm and now it’s clicking when it reaches a piece of filament that isn’t extruding fast enough. So I think that means it’s an issue with the hotend not heating the filament fast enough. I’ll check the friction of the mod though just to be safe, and I don’t think I ever calibrated my E-steps, so I’ll have to do that.
Adjusting the tension arm seems to have helped a lot, so I think you’re on to something.
I did, yes.
I forgot to post an update but I found the source of the issue. Turns out I’m a dumbass and I accidentally loosened my extruder’s tension arm.
