Switched back to smooth bed...skipping and non extrusion?
I have been printing for years with the textured bed. I had a print that I wanted smooth so I swapped back in the smooth bed. Any print I try will skip when laying down filament, gears skip int he extruder and the filament ultimately does not extrude. Figured there must be a clog or over time I need to increase the heat. No clogs after looking in the extruder. I put the textured bed back down and it prints flawlessly.
I found similar posts about this but not this specifically. Its not hyper critical but I really wanted a smooth finish on this print. Curious if anyone has had this specifically and I hope I just didn't miss a posting about it while searching.
Thanks

Have you done a new first layer calibration?
the smooth build plates are generally thicker than textured build plates, so your nozzle may be too close.
