Printing issues after pause and resume

Hi All

My Ender 3 V3 KE is about 3 months old and updated to the latest firmware.

Since I’ve had this printer, I’ve had issues with pausing and resuming prints. I have a number of models that require me to pause to insert magnets or change filament. Frequently, after resuming from a pause, the print quality degrades substantially, ruining the print.

  • This happens inconsistently, but more often than not.
  • The issue occurs with all filaments, I had this issue on PLA, PETG and SBS
  • Issue occurs for GCODE pauses and also when manually pausing from the touch screen.
  • Running a full printer calibration prior to the print doesn’t resolve the issue.
  • Printing slower doesn’t resolve the issue.
  • Playing around with different temperatures doesn’t resolve the issue.
  • Happens with prints from different slicers (I tried Creality Print and Orca).
  • The duration of the pause also makes no difference, I’ve had this issue after pausing a print for only 20 seconds.

I found one other person online with the exact same issue, but on the K1, and he does a great job at explaining the issue and also included some photos that also reflect my experience. Please have a look at his post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FixMyPrint/comments/17p9ki0/inconsistent_extrusion_after_pause_and_resume_on/

Does anyone here knows of this issue or possible fixes/workarounds?

Same problem. I would also like to solve it. But I have a feeling that all those Enders have it. It always does it to me.

Please send me your printed file 3mf, and I will let the engineer verify it. Thank you
