Print issues with my kit

Hi

I built my Mk 2 over Christmas, loved the project and managed to print some great stuff

I'm now have a issue when I print. The nozzle seems to stick to the print. I watch the print start absolutely fine. Then the nozzle sticks to print and extruded plastic just piles up

Calibration was fine and I set the z axis lower as the z test calibration print didn't look right

Iv attached 2 pictures. Everything seems fine then the nozzle seems to stick on the print. It then takes the print with it

Thanks for any help

Steve

Re: Print issues with my kit

To me, this looks like you need to re calibrate the printer,
you don't appear to be getting any squish, on the first layer, and following layers don't appear to be bonding properly, then you lose adhesion, and the part detaches from the heat-bed and ends up trailing the extruder around the build area. causing a sort of slug trail on the second print...
don't forget the V2 Calibration, or an alternative calibration routine that completes the Prusa Calibration process.
