When you do esteps tests, can you tell if the material is slipping on the hob gear, or if the hob gear stutters or stops turning? It's possible you have electrical or logic problems causing it to lack torque or otherwise miss steps. | |

It's indicative of a serious (likely mechanical) failure somewhere. Put the esteps back where they started (93) and look for the problem. Your extruder tension arm is probably cracked or the spring has no tension, or the hob gear is damaged or full of plastic shavings. | |
