Best I can tell, my z-seam after a hop is under extruding? I tried looking at all3dp's troubleshooting page, but couldn't find this specific issue. Can someone fill me in on the name of this so I can best Google it? I'd also be happy to take pointers, but I do try to be self sufficient.

You properly calibrated esteps? Also check your combing settings. I don't think it'll be that tbh, but there's a chance it is

I've been meaning to do e-steps but haven't got around to it. I did do a flow-rate adjustments which had me drop it to like 93%, which should compensate for any e-step issues.

I've not checked combing. Honestly never heard of it before this.

In that case, before you do anything else. Set flow rate to whatever is default (100% I assume), and calibrate your esteps. It takes like 10 mins. Just get some measuring device (calipers best, ruler works good enough) and one of those estep calculators
