Now going to do a test print and see how that turns out.

Was messing with this a bit more and noticed that the Gear shaft for the extruder spins, but the gear itself isn't spinning.  I'm wondering if when it got snagged on a print awhile back, if it created a groove where the screw is on the gear.

I'm waiting on some tools (won't be here until Monday sad ) before I can pull it apart to see.  I'll also be upgrading from the Jigsaw to the MK4.   I'm waiting on a friend to print that for me so I have some time.

You need an allen key, I think it's 1.5mm. Tighten the set screw on the hobbed hub. Print away!

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I was doing the Extrusion Calibration where you mark off 100mm, and let it extrude.  Well for mine, it only did 34mm.
