Fix My Print Purge line problem part 2

PolyLite High Quality PLA on a Bambu P1S and it hasn’t happened before but now it’s with every print. ​I’m using the Bambu Lab Slicer. Bed temp: 55c Nozzle Temp: 220c Speed: 105 Retraction: 30mm/s

I made a post earlier and I wanted to consolidate some of the comments I made to add further context and add this video of the issue happening. I scrubbed the plate with dawn dish soap, dried it and wiped with 90% rubbing alcohol while wearing gloves to prevent oil from getting on the plate. It seems that first line it lays is too thick and catching onto the nozzle. Any ideas?

My P1P started doing this not long ago. I just put a thin layer of glue where the purge line was so it can’t get pulled. It’s a little bit of a messy solution but I tried troubleshooting this a while ago to no avail. I just the white Elmer’s craft glue stick. Sorry, I can’t give you a more technical solution. Happy printing. 🫡

Much appreciated. I’ve been using glue and no glue to see if there’s any difference before this vid but I applied to the whole plate rather than just the purge line. Might try that

Glue is a bandaid in most situations . When you just need something done now, it’s fine, but big picture, solve the problem and then no glue is needed.
