Head knocking part loose

I've got a Mini+ that I thought was fairly well tuned, but I guess not. Having troubles printing the FAB365 Starship Crew. The printers nozzle keeps knocking the part loose forcing me to stop the print. This is eSun eSilk Silver. I didn't think bed adhesion was an issue, but maybe? What should I look at tuning?

I broke the one on the left before taking a photo. The nozzle on each of these just pushes the piece off the bed.

I should add that the parts had a brim.

There are hints that your filament may be damp - it's that time of year again, we see a lot of damp filament at the change of the season.

And ... what are those smears on your print bed?  A thorough clean may fix your prints in place better.

Cheerio,

Your first layer square doesn't look that great either, but it is hard to tell from the picture. I also agree a good bed cleaning with dish detergent and then Isopropyl Alcohol would not hurt. I agree with drying the filament, it always makes things better.
