  • Amount of extrusion on the brim looks about right, so first thing I’d make sure is that the first layer gets laid down in a constant distance to the bed. That requires the bed to be level, but also fro the printer to know about how the bed is a bit uneven in places so it can compensate for that.

    The FAQ for the printer mention:

    This sounds like they did something about the autoleveling in the new firmware release. Make sure you use that, then report back.













  • Someone else pointed out that your Bowden tube looks a little pinched in some of the corners, I can’t tell which corner is underextruding from the video but possibly there’s filament slippage from that?

    Yep, it is exactly that corner where the radius of the tube reaches its minimum. I think that is a hot candidate for the main issue. Also after removing the print, it turned out the the outside had this issue as well and that was printed in the other direction. So, coming out of the slow corner the flow couldn’t accelerate quick enough to get back to volume due to high friction. Thanks, see my edit, I’ll report back!

    Is there any oozing from the nozzle?

    Yes, there is some. I have not calibrated retraction in Klipper yet, I know I should - however, this shouldn’t be the cause of this with almost no travel between layers or different parts in this model. But it’s on the list, you’re right.
