So I am using a flashforge creator pro and my print has some defects on the left side. See attached picture for result. I am wondering how to solve this problem and how to get it to print normally. Thanks
maybe it is not fixing to the bed. try to locate print area to an unused part of the bed. if it prints good, change the blue pad…

Might be a heat issue. What material are you using? PLA/ABS? What are your print settings? Also, do you have a print cooling fan?
Does the printer make any weird sounds when it approaches the left side of the print?
I’ve had this problem in various capacities before.
It’s a heated bed issue.
Basically, as the print gets close enough to the bed to be affected by its heat but far enough away to not be held in place by adhesion, the walls become slightly… gooey and can collapse, buckle, or stretch a bit under their own weight. (Also, it looks like your print might be hollow, this means a thinner bulk of material, further compounding the effects of the issue.)
As for fixing it: this usually happens after a while because the bed temperatures reported lose accuracy, often due to oxide build up on the thermistor, causing them to under-report the temperature. So, let’s say if your filament suggests you have the bed at 70C; but, with this issue, when your printer thinks it’s at 70C, it’s actually at, say, 90C or 100C, overheating your filament, negligibly improving bed adhesion, but hurting your final product’s surfaces.
TL;DR: Turn down your bed temp a bit.
Onwards,

What material are your using ? If it’s abs run it at 232 bed between 105=110 run it slower thats warp from heat like 2600mm/min after your first few layers manual turn on your cooling••••yes the cooling fan with abs it’s sounds counter intuitive but I was having the same trouble with a abs in a creator pro and the cooling fan solved all my warp issues
