Cringe2793,

Thanks! Would you have any general advice on how to check or fix the extruder?

I did just place them on the bed after plucking them out. Sorry for the bad pictures, I’m no good at taking them haha. Here’s what print looks like before I pluck it off the bed:

I realise there is a lot of stringing going on, but I’m not sure how to fix it. Online says I need to adjust retraction settings, and I’m still messing around with that. I’ve currently got retraction distance at 8.5mm and retraction speed at 40.0mm/s.

Are these holes also caused potentally by bad extruder gears?

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it! I’m trying to fix up an old printer that my friend doesn’t want anymore, and it’s my first 3D printer, so there’s a lot of basics I don’t know.
