Topic: SD3 very thin filament extrusion

Hello,

Yesterday I tried a black ABS 1.75mm filament (I had white before) and for some reason the filament is coming out really thin (0.24-0.33mm). Also, beside the main filament that's coming out, a tiny and very thin shaving is coming out (almost like there is a very tiny hole beside the main extrusion hole).

What's causing this? Is it a clogged extruder head? What's the best way to clean it? Can I take it off so may be I can clean it properly outside of the extruder assembly.

Thank you!

Check that your nozzle isn't partially clogged.
