I was printing just fine the other day. The flashforge creator pro seemed to just start to print bad. The filament comes out bloopy if you know what I mean. As if the printer is setting it down in the same spot. I leveled the plate so that paper barely slides without touching the nozzle. I checked the extrusion and it seemed to come out fine. Maybe the motor isn’t moving fast enough I am not sure and I don’t want to mess it up. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Can you upload any pictures of the issue? I haven’t experienced this before.
Yea, some pics or something is probably a good idea.
This happens when the nozzle gets get clogged like this. Before doing this it lays down the filament pretty good.
Sorry for the bad picture I was in a rush. I will post some better ones later.
My first guess is an adhesion issue. What slicer, material, temps etc.?
Clean up the nozzle and make sure it is extruding ok. Check settings are ok. Clean the bed with alcohol (not your Wild Turkey) and re-level. Use some glue stick. Apply to a cold bed. Get a test cube STL and set it up for standard settings (.2 layer etc.) and print it slow, especially the first layer.
P.S. We have started a Flashforge group on facebook (Flashforge 3D), feel free to check it out. Only a few members so far but hopefully it will grow and users can help each other and share stories.
