Normally slopes on my prints look fine, but recently I’ve been getting bad extrusion on some prints but not all. Same materials, same print file. Could this be one of the motors starting to fail? Printed on an ender 3.

Edit: so changing the POM wheels did nothing. However, I did notice while printing the layers weren’t cooling as much as they should before the next layer started. So maybe there could be a fan issue.

Extruder gears seem free, but I did just notice that the POM wheels on the x-gantry seem to have flat spots in them. This could be the cause so I’ve bought some new ones to test the theory.

That could very well be the issue. Hope it helps and you're back to flawless in no time 💖

Thanks! I’ll update the thread when I test it so there is a log for anyone else who may experience this issue.

That's the spirit. Thanks!
