here. Today I tried to get that thing running properly again, here is my report.
>bowden tubes clear and free of obstruction
>extruder does not skip steps when not printing but just feeding onto the plate from a distance
>when nozzle is in proper printing distance extruder starts skipping steps after the 3rd or 4th layer or does not feed at all

Could It be that my extruder is just absolute garbage? Since I am a noob what should I do if this is the case?
Will just buying a better one be sufficient or do I need to fuck with the voltage of the extruder stepper? Or both?
