Z = 0 setting, filament diameter setting (should be as-measured), extruder drive calibration, or extrusion multiplier.

Try the print again, but this time play with the extrusion multiplier. It is accessible by the lcd while you are printing.


If by increasing it you get a satisfactory result you know that your problem is with the filament diameter OR extrusion multiplier OR extruder calibration (the are all used to calculate how much extrusion should be done per mm).

Also redo the Z height again before this as mentioned above.

Sorry for the long delay in replying as I've not been near my printer for some time. Extrusion multiplier worked great. I saved it to my presets for that particular filament going forward. Thanks
