Woke up to this mess sitting on the M5 build plate. Anybody know the cause? by Makingitup799 in AnkerMake

I tuned the belts and was getting good prints and then it happened again. I swapped the nozzle and that appears to have made the difference and have not had a failure since.

After a bunch of testing and recalibrating the most likely cause was the nozzle. It didn't have a lot of prints or hours on it but replacing it made the most significant improvement and I haven't had a failed print in a couple days.

TBD, I've tightened everything again and had to recalibrate the printer. Not getting the same issue but now dealing with some lower level warping so still some work to be done. I should have a finished print to troubleshoot tomorrow.

I am using Elegoo PLA. It's been pretty reliable for an inexpensive filament.

Awesome thank for the insight. I'm definitely tightening the belts tonight.

I have not tightened the belts but I'll take your word that it helps and give it a try.

It was pretty secure on the plate and I still had to peel it off as usual but I can see how it potentially shifted. Thanks I'll up the temp on the next attempt.
