My anet a8 was working and printing great until my hotbed connector snapped and shorted out my motherboard. After replacing the connections to my hotbed and my motherboard I can’t print anything because the filament flow is very inconsistent. It often laying down nothing. See my included picture. I’ve tried a bunch of suggested calibration settings; increase extruder temp, decrease speed, increase flow, but none of them worked. Any ideas or thoughts would be great. Thanks
What caused you to change all the connections?
Since you’ve already checked many settings, at this point it may be a clogged nozzle.

Maddie you rock. Took a bit of time and some trial and error but once I got it so that manually using the extruder I saw a constant flow everything worked great again. Thanks again

Oh and I changed the connections because the hot bed connector snapped off due to burning through. I think this is the standard anet a8 problem where the connector cannot handle the amperage.
