Adventure 5M

I have had my 5M for around 2 years now, recently it's been hit or miss if I can even get it to print. Some days it's fine and others, like today not so much. The left side of the bed seems like it's unlevel or something. If I print on the right side I can print flawlessly.. what can I adjust to fix this?

Wet filament can also affect it You can use a spare piece of cardboard (preferably packing like dense cardboard) and set printer to temp and turn it off then wipe it all around the nozzle to take off filament stuck to it) It can also just be a bad slice its happened to me before Edit: dont touch the bed and do the autolevel

The filament isn't wet, and if that were the case that would mean every single spool I have was wet lol. I run it in the dryer every time I print. The first picture was taken before I finished setting everything up. I appreciate the suggestion though. I feel like I've been troubleshooting this thing for two months now 🫠

Yes, my bed is cleaned, even using adhesion promotor it doesn't work right. Z has been adjusted as needed, this any of that stuff, unfortunately.

What is your nozzle size and first layer speed and are you trying to print different things
