My printers do this from time to time where they just ignore everything i did tl make them work and start using factory values.

It always pisses me off but usually once i find which setting it is i put it to what it needs to be and it's done.

It's been 3 days of me giving my printer new e step values with zero result.

At first i adjusted the start gcode in cura but now i'm also using an empty print file with settings and it has no effect.

I have a 30:1 extruder and the values i used so far go from 92 all the way up to 33.000, it actually extruded more at 92 then it did at 33k. The extruded amount seems to be random compared to the e steps i put in, i don't really know what is happening.

I checked the extruder gears and they look brand new.

I got my e3d hotend and it took me a full 6 minutes to break it. I turned the bottom to line up the cables so it would fit in the bondtech thing and i managed to bend the spring enough that i couldn't remove the nozzle anymore.

In an attempt to free it i completely fucked up the spring, so i'm back to ordering parts again.
