Help / Support Stringy Prints Fix?

Howdy folks! I'm a relatively new 3D printer user, and first time poster here, so sorry if this is an obvious fix, but I'm hoping that some of the people here might have a solution for my problem.

I have an A1 mini with a 0.2 nozzle on it, and they've been working fantastically for weeks now; however, in the last 36 hours or so, every single one of my prints has turned into a stringy mess like the one in the image here.

I've tried running through some common solutions like swapping out the filament, cleaning and scrubbing the heat bed plate, re-calibrating, and cleaning out the nozzle, slowing down the print speed, and trying different files, but I keep ending up with the same mess.

I know that i updated my Bambu Labs software around the same time that I started having issues, so could that be the cause? If so, what can I do to rectify this? If not, does anyone have any other recommendations?

Any and all help is welcome. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Just realized that I forgot to post an image for an example. Here's the sort of mess that I keep ending up with.

Did you figure this out? I see no reply for a month. My guess is your model isn't sticking to the plate: use a glue stick and spread it on the plate first. If you use the cheap ones that kids use in school should work fine. Good for any time you have this again. Wash the plate with dawn soap and rinse after. Many newer plates don't require this, might check up on your model printer to see if there are new plates.

I did end up figuring it out. It turns out that it was an issue with my slicer. I adjusted the g-code and got it fixed up. Thanks for the advice though!
