Ender 3 v3 SE upgrade hot end problems

Hi All

Been printing fine but thought I would upgrade the hotend. Purchased from Amazon ( official) Creality part.

Installed fine but will not lay the filliment, tried to manually adjust the Y axis with the paper method.

Carried out a calibration, just looks like hair on the bed.

Any advise greatly Appreciated

Thanks

You should be looking at the z-offset, I’ve found it normally needs another 0.05/0.1mm after the levelling. I’ve never used the paper method on my V3SE, always used the autolevel. What I have found since I have upgraded to the microswiss flowtech is that the autolevel is all but spot on.

I am having the same issue even after autoleveling and modifying the z-offset a couple of different times (first adding 0.05, after that did not resolve it adding another 0.05 with no luck). An additional issue that I’ve noticed after the upgrade is it takes 10x - 15x longer for the actual printing process to begin.
