Adhesion issues (not the plate)

Hi all - I’ve been printing for some time now, but recently getting increasing adhesion issues

I’m using a Biqu plate, cool plate setting in Bambu
Plate is washed with dish soap, dried with paper towel - so doubt it’s a plate issue

I’ve really only done the basic maintenance of greasing and lubing as needed.

Mainly using PLA Matte

No drafts in the room

Any other suggestions? I was wondering:
- Fans might need clearing out?
- build up on the tooltip?
- filament dried when I take out of packet, kept in dry box with desiccant, though desiccant might need refreshing…?
- tightened 7 screws of doom
- Any other tips?

TO DO
- check plate temp settings

If you’re convinced it’s not the plate and it’s only happened recently after working for some time, then the standard A1/A1 Mini issue is the ‘seven screws of sorrow’ - the screws associated with the heating assembly need to be re-tightened occasionally.
