/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I'm absolutely at my wits end. I have tried everything to get this hunk of wood and wires to print and every time this thing keeps giving me more and more fuckups.

I have an a8. I have leveled it tens of times, replaced the head, used cura and slic3r to change the settings of the print but nothing seems to change anything.

its an .3 head with a 1.75 pla filament and it has started to leak from a hole in the side. When ever it prints it just puts down thin wires that make the end product look like it is made of string but yet somehow holds together. best guess is that it has something to do with the hole so ill try and tape that shit up with thermal tape. anyone have any similar problems please for the love of god help. this thing has been driving me up the god damn wall for over a month now.
