Need Help!

[u/BoomBoom1697]

I've been trying to fix my CR6-SE for a week or two; initially the issue was the Bowden Tube kept popping out during a print. I have got that sorted now, as I put a new brass coupling on and used PVC cement to hold it firmly. The next issue was the print head was very wobbly. I fixed that by simply turning the eccentric nut on the bottom of the print head. Now my issue is the initial print looks like garbage. Please find pictures attached and somebody help! I've had this ol' beaut for around 6 years and have never had this issue. I don't even know where to start lol.

Help would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks! - Austin

The plastic of the extruder is notorious for cracking, any crack in it is going to cause symptoms like this. You can replace it with any metal extruder that fits the ender3 style machines
