As you see in both picture there is a lot filament crumbs. Along with a lot of filaments caked on to the nozzle, This tells me filament is leaking around the nozzle. Which I do not understand because of the nozzle design.

. Does anyone have any clues what is causing this? I am using a new freash reel of E-Sun PETG filament. With nozzle at 230C and bed 75C.

Thank or sharing your wisdom :D:D:D

It looks like under-extrusion. I would def look at the new nozzle - make sure it's installed correctly. Maybe some filament was in there when you changed nozzle and kept the new nozzle from seating correctly??

I'd try some different filament to see if it does the same thing- maybe PLA?

Good luck!
