Need help figuring out why my prints are failing
I'm printing a full set of armor using my two i3 Mk3s+. Already this project is proving to be a daunting prospect, since the hotend keeps catching on the initial layers and drags the filament along, eventually turning into a big glob of PLA. I've already had to shut down half a dozen attempts before my nozzle and heat block got completely covered. I've tried messing with settings in Prusaslicer, but nothing seems to be working. Need a small hand figuring out the issue.

Thank you. I didn't have the foresight to take a picture, unfortunately...
The link has very helpful information. I'll be doing that if things continue to go sour. What's strange is that my Mk3's are not being very consistent with this project. They were performing flawlessly before the armor project. Its a bit strange. I tested it on a few non-armor files, and they printed perfectly fine. Pretty confusing, if you ask me. I've even tried re-orienting the armor pieces a bit. Sometimes it works.
