I used to be able to print things. Now for the past 6 months or so I’ve wasted spools upon spools trying to print anything and this always happens. I’m just about ready to sell this machine and give up on the whole thing.

Is there anything glaringly obvious that springs to any of your expert minds?

    It was fixed by removing residue from the print bed which reduced adhesion for the first few layers, pulling the filament up, which gets stuck on the nozzle and is being dragged across the bed.

    Clean your bed regularly every couple of prints.

      Yeah, I’ve seen that reply too, but only after posting this… Anyway, I do enjoy many of the new features that Prusa slicer has so maybe all the trouble was worth it, don’t think I would have tried it otherwise
