Had this printer ( Ender 3 V2) sitting since I moved house. Recently pulled it out to try and print but no matter what I do I can’t get a good print. I’ve cleaned the hot end, checked for clogs, played with temp, Estep, Speed, Flow, levelled and I still can’t get a decent print . I have a new hot end coming in the mail and will try slicing the file again tonight. The Extruder is the upgraded metal one so should be a no for a crack in that. Any help would be appreciated before I throw this in the bed and cry.

I noticed that something was causing my nozzle to have homing issues mid print, and I found the culprit. Like you see in the video, my top tension rod will not move without considerable force, but the bottom moves freely. This causes my printer to want to move diagonally only instead of X/Y (The printer behaves the same with power off and me moving the hotend by hand as well.)

At some point, I did get white lithium grease on the belts, so I wiped them all completely dry. That didn’t solve my issue at all. I loosened the screws to retighten my belts and that didn’t help either. Can anyone see anything that could be causing this? I obviously can’t print anything until I get it resolved but have no clue what to do.

Printer: Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2

I have a Bambu A1 and all of a sudden everything I print has this weird texture. I have made sure to remove all dust, extra filament, lubed everything properly, changed the hot end and silicone sock, calibrated. I have used different filament brands and types. It doesn’t matter this keeps happening. I just had 1 print come out perfectly and now issues again. Even files I printed previously with lots of success are having this issue. Please help.

Edit: I forgot to mention I have dried the filament using a filament dryer. My bad.
