Extruder stuttering from 4th layer

Hello,

A few days ago I printed a few big parts for a school project and everything came out like a charm. The day after i tried to continue with the project but from the fourth layer, the extruder started to stutter. I loosened the extruder motor gear to see if it was too tight but it wasn’t. Then i tried to gently help the big gear turn but it felt like the extruder motor really retracts a slight bit for a millisecond. Every print i started since then had this problem, i used the same slicer settings than all the previous parts and they came out fine.

Any suggestions on what i can check?

Can you post some pictures of the failed project?

Sorry for the late reply,

I think the problem was in my model, since with models i printed after the one that had this problem i haven’t had this issue anymore. Either that, or the problem fixed itself.

That’s strange.
Glad to hear it’s working
