Blobs of plastic
I am getting blobs of plastic on my prints. I bought new nozzles and have been trying to reset my Z for the last 2 days. This printer is about a month old. Printed for the first 3 weeks almost 24 hours a day with great results. Now I can't get rid of these blobs of plastic. I printed the Skull that came on the sd card and it had about 8 or 10 round blobs about the size of a BB. Please help.
Your filament is damp and I'm fairly sure your nozzle is wrongly inserted.
Check: is there filament oozing from the top of the heater block?
If so, pay particular attention to the diagrams at the bottom of this page:

Cheerio,

The Benchy was wet filament but I have tried several different filaments and still get the blobs of plastic without the strings.

As diem said, most likely your nozzles are not properly inserted or the heartbreak got unscrewed vis-à-vis the heater block when you swapped nozzles.

I pulled nozzle and clean everything up. I guess I didn't tighten the new nozzle tight enough. Seems to be working good on the first layer print and first layer test. Now to print something and see if its good. Thanks
