    3D Printer Extruder Motor Skipping Steps: Every Cause and Fix Explained

    ByMike Reynolds March 22, 2026

    You’re mid-print and you hear it — a rhythmic clicking or thumping sound coming from your extruder. That’s your stepper motor skipping steps, and every time it does, it fails to push filament into the hotend. The result? Under-extrusion, gaps in your print, or a complete print failure if it happens enough. Extruder motor step-skipping…

    How to Print PETG Without Stringing: The Complete Settings Guide

    ByMike Reynolds March 22, 2026

    PETG is an incredible filament — stronger than PLA, more forgiving than ABS, and versatile enough for functional parts, outdoor projects, and food-adjacent containers. But there’s one problem that makes PETG users want to throw their printer out the window: stringing. Those thin, hair-like wisps of plastic that appear between every gap and travel move,…
