Thanks for sharing. It feels good to know you are not alone. I had a similar experience once where after lots of debugging I realized the "PLA" I was using was in fact PETG and I was extruding way too cold.
Ha! Years ago, I once spent nearly 2 whole days trying to unknowingly splice PLA and PETG together. All because I was an idiot and didn't read the spool labels. I just assumed, with the obvious results and damage to my ego....
I once spent quite a bit of time because I fat fingered a huge retraction amount and failed to spot it for days. You wouldn't think the slicer would have allowed a 50mm retraction distance either. It was a direct drive extruder and I was unloading my filament when I thought my extruder was stopping up randomly.
Isn't amazing what slicers can do? There ain't no guard rails where we're going!
