Still not working
For some time now I haven't done much 3D printing. The machine is giving every time I start a new print....problems with underextruding.. Sometimes I think that the 3d model that is underlying the Gcode can be the reason for this problem.

Again underextruding
I am planning to print a Solartracking device which I found on Thingiverse.com. All the electronics I have already just now I need to start printing. The item which I printed sofar and which are ok you can see on the next image.
But I got problems with underextrusion.... Here is an image of a big part which started underextruding just at the end of the print....
So I am doing again a Atomic Nozzle Clearing.... I use a piece of white pla filament so I can see clearly if there is dirt in the nozzle. The first piece came out quite clean......no visible dirt.... Then I did it a second time and on the piece that I got out were minor irregularities. The third time went ok.
Direct after this I started a test print......
After 16 minutes and 32% done the test print went good.
And after 46 minutes it was ready.... good till the end.
So tomorrow I will try another time the items for the solartracker...
