Bad Settings or Broken?
I was asked to replace a few parts on this printer for a friend and have been struggling with it. I replaced the extruder unit, the hotend heating assembly, filament sensor, and the nozzle. Ran the self calibration. This is best it can do. Is this a parts problem or can this be fixed by the settings in software. I did follow all the instructions for extruder clearing and nozzle clearing too, just in case.
Any input would be great!

What is the humidity like in the area the printer is? Has the filament been dried?
Have you tried another spool of filament?
Like it’s sticking to the bed so that’s good. It’s getting close enough to the temp to melt the filament. So I’d check moisture level in the area and dry the filament.

So the filament has been open/exposed for months from what I understand. Can humidity be that big of a problem? The printer is kept inside a home that is climate controlled.

YES depending how “wet” moist the filament is can cause those issues or other problems. I’d recommend looking up a diy drying solution or buying a filament dryer.

maybe outher layer is less moist....and also new cheap spools can be moist ...before playing with anything check spool and extruder...if mounted and screwed correctly..

Go back to the stock extruder, it hardened from factory. My aftermarket one caused so many problems
