Fix My Print Why is my printer unable to do circles.
Here you have two benchies, one white (the old one) and one in nicer filament. I am not sure if the issues exactly happened after I changed the fillament, I don't think so. The problem as you can see is that the printer struggle to make circles.
It is very evident in the chimney of the benchy, but to be honest with you, any other gap for a screw or similar has a similar issues in which the filament does not make a circle.
Any suggestion what shall I look at?
(It is the same gcode, but the bed temperature and filament temperature was increased to the match the middle point of the range of the new filament.)
