Why does everything do this? (lemmy.world)

I used to be able to print things. Now for the past 6 months or so I've wasted spools upon spools trying to print anything and this always happens. I'm just about ready to sell this machine and give up on the whole thing.

Is there anything glaringly obvious that springs to any of your expert minds?

What, are you me?? I've had exactly that problem on exactly the same printbed with exactly the same color filament. It also only started happening a while ago, it was fine before. Ender 3 v3 SE here. I done know why but I fixed it by wiping the printbed with some soap and water and switching to prusa slicer from cura. Works pretty well now, so maybe try that.

    It was fixed by removing residue from the print bed which reduced adhesion for the first few layers, pulling the filament up, which gets stuck on the nozzle and is being dragged across the bed.

    Clean your bed regularly every couple of prints.

    Yeah, I've seen that reply too, but only after posting this... Anyway, I do enjoy many of the new features that Prusa slicer has so maybe all the trouble was worth it, don't think I would have tried it otherwise
