I just stopped a failing print and noticed some weird extrusions happening (not english native speaker, also I'm a 3d printing noob, don't know whether that's the right word). You can see it in the image. Any tips to improve printing quality?
I'm printing on an Ender 3 V3 SE. This print was with standard settings.
EDIT: as a clarification, this isn't why I stopped the print. It failed to adhere to the print plate at some spots. Redid my z offset and hopefully that solved it.
Also, how much are you adjusting, in terms of steps?
I don't know what you mean by that :( what steps are you referring to?
Oh sorry, how many hundredths of millimeter are you are adjusting at a time. You should just make small adjustments and try them on a small first layer test print. But I guess you're live adjusting, so what I said doesn't make a lot of sense
