Factory reset - any problems?

Hi Al.... My MK4 has been pritng well but suddenly ever time I tyr to print 3 different .stl files from Thiniverse the toolhead drags the filamner wich was layingont eh bed all over the bed.

I changed the Layer Height from .2 to .3mm but that didn't help.

I'm considering performing a Factory reset.

Does that create its own problems?

What's the downside to a factory reset?

Or might you please share any other settings changes you've found helpful when the tool-head drags filament all over the bed?

Thank you!

Is your nozzle clean?  Built up filament on the nozzle can cause the bed probing to be inaccurate.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply. It purges well and I always swipe the nozzle with nose-pliers before every print. It also does that self-scrubbing before every print. I've used 4 different PLA filament reels.

Pliers could deform and damage the nozzle.  Prusa recommends a brass brush which is what I use. 

Can you upload an picture of your nozzle, from the side and bottom?

I don't think that swiping the nozzle with nose-pliers will damage it unless you apply a desmesurate force. Likewise, using a brass brush may scratch a brass nozzle.but it takes very strong brush strokes to make visible marks. Using these tools with common sense, both methods are harmless.
