Got lazy but have posted once about my Extruder being the reason why Octoprint or Firmware is not starting the Print.

I compiled my Marlin Firmware by adding

#define DEFAULT_Kp 16.44
#define DEFAULT_Ki 1.58
#define DEFAULT_Kd 42.75

and it starts, but it does weirdly extrude. When I hit "Extrude 5mm" Manually while nothing is running then it seems like a nice constant flow, but when Printing it somehow stocks, retracts or smth when trying to print. At first I thought its TPU and a new abstract material I have never touched but this currently is the good old Black PLA from Creality that I always used.

I use Cura and just used the default settings for PLA like always.

Great thought. Octoprint for sure doesn't know the width of the Nozzle so it definetly won't mean that 10mm would come out of the Nozzle. So I measured the mm on the filament how much moved. It only moved 3mm when I pressed 10mm Extrude in Octoprint.
