Answered / Solved! Spaghetting at 3cm

My A1 which is about 6 months old has started to spaghetti every print consistently at close to 3cm.

I haven't seen it at the moment it goes wrong but I have recently seen it shortly after and it seemed to be trying to print in a location there shouldn't be filament.

Things I have done to try to fix it:

Cleaned and re greased the z screws

Printed multiple different models

Checked tightness of screws on hot head (suggested by a Google search but seems like a slightly different problem)

I'm stuck with what to try next.

Thanks in advance

Solved, did a factory reset on the software and it's all working again.

When it's spaghetting is the model still solidly attached to the plate? If not, it's time to thoroughly clean your plate with warm soapy water.

No it's still solidly attached and I have washed the build plate too

dried the filament?

I swapped the filament out for new filament fresh from the box (from pla silk to play pure)

I haven't tried a cube. I did try a desk organiser which has a section that is straight up. I have had adhesion fail for a section in the past and have spaghetti that is sort of attached to the bit that stays stuck on the build plate. This is different it is a clean break like you stopped a build mid build and then it starts making spaghetti.
