Duet 2 inconsistent extrusions at slow speeds

Try reducing the extruder temps by 5 degree steps and printing again at each temp.

It's possible that you are running hotter than you think and cooking the filament.

I think @fcwilt is on to something with the temps.

Even so, to remove the configuration from the equation, can you send M98 P"config.g" in the gcode console and post the response? That would show any syntax errors just in case.

And then to really rule an error in config out, you could generate a fresh config set from the online tool to test with to compare.

Seeing a video of the slow print in action might be worthwile as well.

@Veti
From the bottom to first black line full speed, down to 20% between first and second line, down to 50% second to third, and then last section 100%

Do you notice any odd movement of the extruder gear when those gaps are made?

[Veti]

check that the grub screws inside the bmg are tight on all the gears.

[natty15d]

@Phaedrux no I don't notice any pauses but clearly see it skip three to four mm of extrusion

@Veti checked that at the weekend and performed atomic pull to clear the hot end

Just installed a new Nema17 stepper to replace the pancake stepper and no improvement

@fcwilt looks like you solved it!
Reduced print temp down to 195 and just had a fantastic print. Retried the fast print and the result was just as good. The ramps board must have been giving false temperature readings as it needed 215 to print PLA.
Thank you so much for everyones help and assistance
