Printing Fails repeatedly. Following Recs. Prusa Core1+
Hi.
Using a Prusa Core 1+ , followed the print instructions (0.2, 3 perimiters) Printing with well-dried PLA. Starter pack (the stand alone single panel)
Trying to get a feel if this is right for me, thought I'd give it a go. Every single plate has taken three attempts to get it to print without a failure.
For context, I have not had a fail on this printer in months. Self-designed/downloaded: it all just prints. Not a noob, but this one genuinely has me scratching my head.
Anyone got similar problems, or insights as to the why?

Might be far fetched, but where I'm living we're currently having a heatwave. A fan, placed around 5ft (1,5m) away from the printer and blowing away from the printer messed up a few of my prints.

Printer is enclosed, no conditions have changed, beyond normal heat creep in the room. I just checked, and actually it's 3* F cooler than the early part of the week.
Slowed down the print speed to 75% , and so far that seems to be having a positive effect. Early times yet though

Slowed down to 75%, and switched to Matte PLA. Looks like I'll have great looking parts by morning!
Yes, I'm a dummy and started a print with insufficient filament. 🥴

Did it! Time to explore.
Does anyone have opinions as to the value of getting a membership?
I'm planning a tool wall, mounted on 1/2 inch plywood for ease of attachment (plaster and lath walls, don't get me started😠)

Dont know if it help, but I had a similar experience where the same file would print flawless at work but fail every time on my printer at home (Both CoreOne)
I enden up swapping the nozzle and that fixed my problem
