Try to google it. It is really helpful to diagnose issues. Do you hear sizzling noises while printing? That normally happens when filament is wet. Do you have a fresh spool to test with? ---

Looks like you are still under extruding a lot. After you cleaned out the hot end and put everything back together did it start printing ok for a little while and then start messing up? If so then you got another clog. If this is the issue it’s the connection between the Bowden tube and the nozzle. You may need to trim the Bowden tube to a fresh straight cut (requires a little cutting tool to do right) or just replace. You might also check your retraction settings. If you have adjusted retraction to excessive amounts it can causes repeated clogs. ---

I have not to my knowledge adjusted retraction. I have calibrated e-steps again and increased the flow multiplier to 110% and it looks to have straightened out the problem on my test chip. ![IMG_6195](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/0/1/3014842d9d85ce1d6ec548f9c3336540c10a2818.jpeg) Trying Benchy again… ---

I iterated on this weight and I’m now obsessed with it. This one is 9g but if I reprint I’ll infill a little more for heavier. ![IMG_6209](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/7/d/97d52919c5fb3f0a05fb245851091fe998b18ac4.jpeg) ---

An inner wall broke, specifically the one between the Cabal kit cap and spacer, and so it won’t assemble right. I think the Cabal guts aren’t ideal for printed yo-yos, which makes sense as they were designed for a machined yoyo. I’m looking forward to YYF’s 3d print kit.
