First Print Problems with gobs of filament
My Prusa i3 MK3S+ was printing fine until I tried a filament with glitter embedded. That managed to screw up my nozzle, so I replaced the nozzle and then started the calibration process. When I adjust the Z axis to the point where the filament is sticking to the bed, the test print comes out well. But then when I go to print, the first layer is as above. The red circles indicate excess blobs of fillament. The purple arrows point to areas where there is under-extrusion &/or tears (i.e. holes) and the yellow arrows highlight the threading once the print is stopped and the printhead moves to its stop position. I have no idea how to correct this. I've tried altering the temp, the retraction (up to 7.0), Z-hopping - and nothing helps. I am hoping someone here can steer me in the right direction to a solution!
Please show us your nozzle/hotend assembly.
The two purple arrows look suspiciously like fingerprint-spoiled adhesion as does the extreme top left. Try a really thorough clean of the print-sheet.
Cheerio,
