Printer
Migbot I3
MK8 extruder
So I've been recently having issues printing on my i3.
Layers were weak and it seemed like the filament wasn't being extruded so I bought a new nozzle for my printer and that didn't fix the issue.
I did a little harder look at the extruder motor its self an noticed that it didn't seem to be turning as quickly as it should be. Is the motor dead or is there some setting in Simplify3D that I may have screwed up.
Things I have Tried
- New nozzle
- Reducing tension on filament be fed into extruder
- Increasing flow rate and E-steps
The second issue which is also weird which I have never had happen before is that the Z axis doesn't seem to be raising as high as it should. Resulting in squished prints, for example an object that should be 10mm tall ends up being about 2mm tall.
Any help would be much appreciated

The only thing that seamed to make a difference was playing with the E-steps in the firmware/Settings of the printer itself.
