I’ve printed hundreds of prints over a few years. Now I haven’t printed in a few weeks but this is the first time I’ve had a problem like this. This is supposed to be flat. What’s happening?

The audio might be a clue for you to help me troubleshoot


From the audio it almost sounds like the extruder is skipping like you may have a clog? What material is this? What temperatures, bed and hot end? Have you cleaned your bed recently?
If it’s not clogged (change your print nozzle if yours is easily swappable), make sure the heat is right on the hotend. Extruder skipping can happen if the material isn’t melting fast enough to have the right viscosity and hence the extruder just can’t squeeze it out fast enough. As a corollary, try slowing down your print and raising the temp a bit.
It’s PLA. Whatever temperature the printer decided for the material and bed. It’s never been a problem.
It’s a cool super tack plate. Are you supposed to clean those?
