Issue type: Equipment Problem Area: 3D Printing Equipment: Prusa MK3S+ - Apollo Summary: Apollo extruding problems Additional Info: Apollo seemed to be extruding inconsistently on the first later. Blobby on some parts, and super thin or not present on other parts. I switched to sunwukong with the same filament and gcode, and it worked fine.

The problem was that the z-height adjustment of the printer was much too close to the print bed. This was causing underextrusion because the nozzle couldn’t push out the filament, and then blobbing when the pressure finally got so high that it escaped.
