First, try the solutions in this article in case there are any issues with your printer's extruder/hotend.

3MS rotation_distance

If your extruder and hotend are working fine, the next likely cause of underextrusion is your 3MS rotation_distance is too high. There are two likely causes and solutions, based on where in the print the underextrusion occurs:

  • Whole print - 3MS motors working backwards from the extruder or not working at all

    Follow the wiring section of Assembly.

    Follow the first two steps of Stepper Setup.

  • Partially through print - 3MS motors not turning enough

    Follow the last step of Stepper Setup.
