Could be clogged nozzle or problems with extrusion. Double check the PTFE tubes if they are ok.

You can just rise the nozzle and see if it extrudes  evenly.

Things I've tried:

Update the firmware to 6.4.0 11974

Update the slicer to 2.9.4

Replace the nozzle

REALLY clean the build plate (hot water + soap + scrubbing + paper towel)

Live adjust Z (dialed in perfectly)

Bed level test (Specifically the MINI 3mf file)

Left: 0
Right: 100
Front: 0
Rear: 0

 

Left: 10
Right: 80
Front: 50
Rear: 60

Live Z Adjust is dialed in perfectly at 1.775

 

Any suggestions?
