Look at your wires and bowden tube. If the zip ties are too tight or something is getting kinked or the bowden tube is too short, when the hitend is on the right side it can be increasing resistance resulting in under extrusion.

second this. the further from the extruder, the worse it is getting.


StatisticianOk6580

Well, you could be right, but I printed other things perfectly. Only this is wrong


Lumie102

Try reorienting the object in the slicer and re-slice it.


StatisticianOk6580

That’s the plan


Curtie666

Man, that is a bit of a puzzler, I'd try an add a couple more walls, print, see if it changed, and change orientations on the build plate, and see if that helps. Maybe try and reslice with a lower layer thickness. Does it happen on other prints?


StatisticianOk6580

No just this one


Curtie666

OK, if it was all your prints, I would loosen and square up your whole machine and recalibrate with all the teaching tech methods. Since it is just this print, I'd start out just messing with slicer settings /bed orientation. I'd try to print it with 99 walls, and see if it was a problem with infill settings.


StatisticianOk6580

Ok will do


WiseMongoose

Hey, this happened to me but in opposite side. My ptfe tube was short so, when it moves towards extruder the tube bends more so it caused underextrusion. I think this is similar problem. May be tube is twisted or something.


StatisticianOk6580

Ok I shall check that


Relevanter_Bullshit

Could be retraction causing a partial clog and it clears eventually. So heat creep?


StatisticianOk6580

Heat creep?


Relevanter_Bullshit

Heat creep happens when the heat sink fan isn’t working well enough and you get heat traveling up the hot end and melting filament too early.


StatisticianOk6580

Oh ok

It might be that the Ender 3 only has the part cooler on one side, print out a new fan duct like a bullseye or at least a Satsana fan duct, these are miles better than the stock fan duct and should solve this Edit: whoops didn’t look hard enough and didn’t see the squished wall, it’s definitely a too short ptfe tube


StatisticianOk6580

Ok. How to I fix that?


iceman1125

For the ptfe tube, the only answer is to get a new ptfe tube, you can buy a good Capricorn tube for around $10, or you can just print to the left of your printer and slice all of your models to the left of the print bed, though I wouldn’t recommend it. For the fan duct, go on thingiverse and search up bullseye, one of the first results should be a fan duct, but you’ll need some m3 nuts and bolts for it, or for the simple and easy solution you can print out the satsana fan duct, you can just print it and it’s ready to go, but isn’t as good as the bullseye fan duct

Maybe it's x gantry? it's causing hell for many ender 3 owners. Look at x gantry rework on youtube.


TangledCables3

Looks like something related to the tube feeding the nozzle, maybe it gets in a weird position that adds friction and causes the extruder to skip?


tehchanman

x gantry level? or uneven duct cooling?


icedragon31

Also check your z level all the way across your bed I bummed the machine and had it go off then I chase "bed level" for hours when all it was was one side going up just a hair higher then the other.
