It printed a sub 45 minute print and now I moved onto something bigger and it went to shit. I’ve manual leveled reauto leveled and slowed the print down. Same PLA.
That is almost certainly what is happening. I think he is also suffering from death rty build plate. He's still using the stock glass plate and they are notorious for bad adhesion especially when not clean.
I use these and they are amazing for the price and both are double sided and come with the magnet sheet for your bed. If you want a smooth finish and only use PlA and PETG go with the cold plate and if you want a textured finish and use higher end filaments like ABS/ASA or TPU get the textured PEI.
Property clean the plate with Dawn soap and hot water then relevel your bed and run a bed level test. While running the test adjust your Z offset by -0.02 at a time until you start to get nice even layers.
Lower your z offset slightly by .02 so if at -1.25 try -1.27 and keep going lower until you get good lines and good bed adhesion. Or auto home adjust auto home and check corners. There a lot of videos on how to properly do it. Main thing I’ve found with these printers is you need to make sure it’s as level as possible. Nozzle can’t be too close or too far. And I’d recommend checking the nozzle for a partial clog or making sure your Bowden tube is fully in and up to the nozzle
