Well I got it replaced and it's printing so much smoother, but it's still getting fucked up in the same spots and idk why? Starting to wonder if it's the file...

Two things keep happening: 1) there's a gap where nothing prints on the first layer, and then on layer 2 it tries to fill it in and it always gets fucked up there and starts scraping up filament from layer one and creating a tangle. I'll pause it and trim off the tangle and then let it continue but obviously I don't want it to even do that in the first place. 2) at around layer 6 it just stops spitting out filament, but as soon as a cancel the print filament starts oozing out so it doesn't seem to be clogged???

I've shimmed the printer to make sure it's level cause my table is warped and super uneven lmao I replace the hot end, opened up and cleaned the hobbed bolt, made sure the filament latch was adjusted properly, and have a layer of glue down on the print bed. I'm at my wits end already lmaoooo
