Illustrative comparison of under-extrusion gaps and a partial nozzle clog with inconsistent extrusion

Educational technical illustration for a 3D printing troubleshooting website. Side-by-side diagnostic comparison: left shows severe under-extrusion with thin sparse lines and gaps in printed walls; right shows a partial nozzle clog with curling filament and inconsistent extrusion from the nozzle. Clean engineering infographic style, warm off-white background, black and graphite printer parts, subtle purple and yellow accents, no text, no logos, no brands, clearly illustrative.

How FilamentFix builds this guide

Diagnosis first. Manufacturer data when available. Alternative causes stay visible. Important technical values are sourced or clearly marked as unverified.

Methodology → · Editorial policy →

Do one useful thing next.

Keep the diagnosis controlled: change one variable, repeat the same test and record what improved.
