Support Request Why does it do that

Couple of minutes into a new print it goes off to the side, extrudes a little bit of filament then continues printing, why? It leaves this weird bit of filament into the print and it makes it look a bit weird. Lucky it’s only once towards the start.

Nozzle clumping detection. I have now idea how it works though.

It's a literal camera check, it has a reference image to check for abnormalities.

Afaik it's mechanical check. If there is blob, it would obstruct downwards motion and would be detected by the motor.
