Don't know if it's a clue but in the OP, the layer count is out as well. Almost as if the print was terminated early.

I just had grabbed the text from whatever was printing. The print completed successfully 🙂

Er, in that case I'm not sure that I understand the problem. In your OP you stated that the web interface reported that a certain amount of filament used, a certain amount of filament needed in total and certain amount of filament required to complete the print. But this was before the print was completed so I don't understand how you conclude that the filament usage was out by 30%. What did it report at the end of the print?

Nice mount.

I'm also glad to know I'm not the only one who has resorted to bodge fixing the E3D sock to my hotend! I use a thin strip of kapton tape but it was a PITA to get on…..

Ok, So I made an assumption that my PEI sheet was working ok with the IR Probe 😞
You are correct, the underside of the PEI is not painted - but the surface is very dull and matt looking as opposed to the usual transparent PEI.
You are correct again, The tape measures only 0.15mm thick so the difference should not be that big. So I guess the IR probe is somehow going through the PEI Sheet (which is about 1.3mm thick)….

Damn - I read that there was a chance sanded PEI would work with the IR Probe - I guess not in my case.
The issue is these PEI sheets come with the 3m Adhesive already attached - and none of the other PEI sheets I have tried have worked well for me.

I guess its time to look for another probe then 😞

Yes, but it will be brighter when you turn the bed heater on.
