I have a Maker select Plus. I can print the 4 pre made blueprints off the SD card the printer came with fine. When i try to print any blueprint i download online (thingiverse) it prints in the front left of the printer. It doesnt print any like the blueprint its just a glob of melted filament. I tried the IT department of the printers makers, they never encounter anything like it and are going to get back to me.

Any ideas on how to fix. Youll have to break it down to beginner instructions due to my lack of experience.

    It's probably a glob because it's printing too high off the print bed. Usually each printer has a little bit of customization that goes into Cura. I have no idea what a "maker select plus" is. Do they have their own special version of Cura on their website somwhere? Already customized for your printer? Or are you using some other slicer?

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
