Not much filament coming out of nozzle.

Very little filament  coming out of nozzle, about the size  of a human hair. How can I increase the amount? Thanks  for  any  help.

RE: Not much filament coming out of nozzle.

The string laid out on the bed is and should be quite thin, about as thick as two writing papers (0.2 mm).
If it is much thinner than that, something is wrong.
Can you show us a picture of what it looks like.

Which filament and which nozzle do you use? Does this happen during the printing process or during manual feed?
Possibly the nozzle is blocked or dirty...

Pictures or a video would be very helpful.

If it was working previously, you may just nave a partial nozzle clog. Read up on doing cold pulls to clear it.
