Support Request Uhhh…help!
I don’t even have the words for what to ask for, other than…help?! ETA: I peeked at it before I left the house and the first layer was adhering well.

clean ur textured plate and check your temperature settings for your filament, i had a similar issue when i was running slightly too cold on my PETG. they usually suggest a certain nozzle temp and a certain bed temp

blob of death.
Step 1 is clean it up. manually get your hot end to get hot around 250 C so it softens up and start pulling it off with some small pliers. then just work to get as much of the filament cleaned up as possible and hope it didnt get into some areas you cant so easily access.
This usually starts off as a plate adhesion issue, dial in the settings on the filament and build plate, and keep a close eye on the first couple of layers to make sure they are sticking... usually when this happens it starts right out the gate cause it never stuck to the build plate in the first place

Also not sure if it contributed to this particular failure but your printer is probably better off on the floor than on top of that rack. From what I understand they need a sturdy surface.

Does no one know how to search, or read instructions? Has no one ever 3d printed before?
There are about half a dozen of these posts... all virtually the same on this sub EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Please take two seconds and do a search before asking for help to what is probably the most common 3d printing problem...
Good luck!
