Printing help

So I formated my Mac and forgot to save my prusa setting. Trying to reconfigure it and getting stuck on my print.

The first layer is good but subsequent  layers looks like this

Can someone give some guidance.

Other than 'user has forgotten what to do' errors the three common reasons for prints suddenly failing after a printer has been unused for a while:

A dirty print bed. Give it a really thorough clean and avoid touching the print area.

Damp filament. Look up threads here about drying filament especially if it has been left open.

General neglect, dust and cobwebs... Basic cleaning, lubrication and general maintenance have all been missed.
