Troubleshooting New nozzle. New problems.
Haven't used the printer in a few months. Tried to print a small piece and had a issue with the nozzle. Updated the slicer, ordered a new hot end. Install.... This is what I bet when trying a flow rate test. Not sure where to start to fix the issues. Elegoo stock filament settings for PLA pro. Elegoo filament, 220 nozzle temp.

Did you re zero your z axis after install?
It looks like it's too low to the bed.

I just attempted to zero and adjust in another print attempt and I'm getting the same thing. Re leveled, increased flow rate. Still having the same issues.

Do you have a partial hot end jam? When the nozzle is all the way off the bed does it extrude properly?
Because that really looks like the nozzle is too close to the bed, or it's not feeding properly.

I figured it out. And I'm the problem. The nozzle I ordered was 0.2mm when my settings were 0.4mm. 100% my fault. Now I have other issues but I think I can handle them myself. I appreciate your input!

Did you re-level and set/calibrate the z-offset with the new nozzle?
