So i'm getting 100 mm of extrusion when extruding at very low speeds, when I move to higher speeds it extrudes between 10 and 20 mm of filament. I had the steps per mm at 105.2 before but I changed it back because I didn't know if it was correct or not.

I already changed the heater block, nozzle and throat, and after that is still happens. So I don't think that's it.
pretty sure my nozzle height is good.

So i'm having some issues with my Anet A8 under extruding (I think).
The top layer has these weird gaps between 2 lines. It didn't do this before I got a duet so i'm pretty sure its firmware or software related but I just can't figure out what it is.

This is my config.g file:

I did notice some clicking noise and inconsistent extrusion when extruding at higher speeds, while at lower speeds it extrudes fine.

Any help would be appreciated

Glad I could help

I am having some struggles with under extrusion on my Anet A8 so I wouldn't copy the E values.
I also changed my leadscrews to some with a lower leadscrew pitch, so the steps per mm for the standard rods should be 400.

I had this problem as well, i'm not really sure how I fixed it but I know it had something to do with the drive settings in your firmware.
