From what I have heard, the first test screenings did not go well at all and they already have rewritten, partially reshot and recut the whole thing. Twice. And they still are not happy with the result. If only half of that is true, the fans will tar and feather them and then chase them out of the town.
As I said: This is getting far more amusing than any movie they could possibly make.

Time to bring the franchise to an end IMO. Disney's already made back the money they spent buying it, and then some. Yes, I said it.

I think they could improve it with a little product placement.
How about a death star with a giant 'That was easy' button from Staples on the outside. I mean - they haven't blown up a death star in - what - 2 movies now?

Only if the new death star is much bigger and more dangerous than all the last ones together. And let's revive the emperor to blow him up with it... wait...

Or not, in my case. A while ago I tried another brand of filament and the quality of the prints quickly degraded to a point where the printer only produced garbage.
The problem was layer cohesion. The objects that were printed became weak and brittle because the layers would separate if you applied only a small force to them. Sometimes entire layers were so weak that the object would already break apart during printing. That happened to a 15 cm x 15 cm x 10 cm case for some circuit boards and not a tiny antenna for one of my models.
Last sunday it took apart the printing head, cleaned everything and replaced the nozzle with a new one. The result is a little better, but still far from good. The object is still too brittle, layers are still too shoddy and messy because of the plastic that comes off right after printing.
Now everything points to the extruder. It looks like it's not able to push the filament ahead constantly and strongly enough anymore. It looked good when I cleaned it. There was not much dirt in there and the parts looked like new. Nothing looked damaged or worn out.
There was an incident when the filament had sprung off the spool, wrapped itself firmly around the spool holder and the extruder tried to pull it in anyway. Maybe the motor was damaged by that. Let's see if I can get it as a replacement part, otherwise I will have to replace the entire printing head. At least I already know where to get that.
Any ideas how I could learn more about what's going on? The motor seems to be working, but that does not mean that it really is ok, as the bad prints show.

What material do you use?
For me personally, putting printer to enclosure was game changer, I have much better prints since then. I used to have layers separation and prints not sticking to the bed sometimes.
This doesn't apply to PLA though. PLA doesn't like the heat that much.

I always use PLA and the printer already is enclosed. It got a metal case with plexyglass windows all around. And everything was fine until things went south after changing the filament. There is no question that the nozzle had to be replaced, but now I think that it did not get clogged up directly by the new filament. That probably only was a side effect of the malfunctioning extruder motor and the mess it creates.

I had a similar problem and got a hardened extruder gear[^] and it cured the problem. Plus they last forever!

Yes, that little part is very important. It looked like new when I cleaned it last sunday. And I know what worn out gears look like from the helicopters.

Thank you for the link to the gear test, which is extremly thorough and instructive!

Sounds like you may need to increase the hotend temperature a bit.
Different filaments need different temperatures to work well, finding the best temperature for a new filament is a bit of a pain.
Have a look at temperature towers (prints that change the temperature depending on the height) to help find the best temp.
I've had PLA filaments happy at 180C and others that needed 210C.
To help stop the filament unspooling add a bit of resistance to the spool mount, so it drags a little, stop it running free.

I tried it with a moderate 200 degrees, but watever has happened, now the old brand of filament with my old temperature setting also does not work anymore. Maybe it's just a coincidence and the new filament had nothing to do with the actual problem.

To me, both the not bonding and not feeding point to extruder too cold. Did you check if the extruder is running the temperature it says it is? Is filament moisture content consistent?
