I recently bought a flashforge creator pro and it has been working well. I started printing a dinosaur and half way through the filament went al scraggly and then went back to working perfectly. Just wandering if anyone have any suggestions on what’s wrong.

Hey Lizzy! That there is what can happen if you don’t add support structures to your model. There is only so steep an overhang a 3D Printer can successfully print and it looks like the dinosaur chin went past it! This is an easy fix though, and you can add supports to your model in the slicing software you use.

it could be a software problem or more likely needed a support.

Supports is one solution. Blowing cold air directly around the head is also helping. With an optimal head fan system, you would even not need the supports. http://www.3dprintingera.com/3d-printing-overhangs-and-bridges/
