U3E Prints Failing

[chett16 0]

Hi All,

 

Please see attached image of failure of printing on my Ultimakter 3 Extended versus what it was trying to do (i aborted the print after the first few layers to take the pictue).  I am using Ultimaker PLA with default settings.

 

Can anyone suggest what might be the cause of this as prints were 100%solid for months and now even failing to print the brim.

And in typical internet fashion, as soon as i posted this i discovered the problem -  someone had turned off active bed levelling, turning it on seems to have resolved ths issue

I'm glad you figured it out.  That photo is classic - that's exactly what it looks like when the nozzle is a little too high off the bed on the first layer.
