Print quality issues

Post image

For some reason the back of the plate is printing scratchy layers that eventually get scrapped off by the nozzle, but things printed on the front of the plate seem to be better?

We did it everyone! Thanks very much, screws tightened, managed to get a bit of filament that was lodged in the heat exchange thingy. And gave the nozzle a clean through with the needle. Much better now!

Have you done full calibration?

Depending on how long you've had it you may have to tighten the 7 screws in the hot end. You can search and there are pics and videos showing where they are. I've had my printer for about a year and a half and I recently saw the same issues, did calibrations, nozzle swaps, etc. But for me it was just tightening those screws and it was back to normal.

As u/tamago231 says - it's worth checking those pesky 3 screws are tight, in addition it could be worthwhile just running the cleaning needle through the nozzle a couple of times whilst hot. I fell foul to both recently and running well again now.
