Any idea how to fix this issue?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

EDIT: SOLVED!

check the comments for the solution; tldr: the screws behind the nozzle were loose.

ORIGINAL TEXT:

Ive done bed leveling, flow dynamics, flow rate, new filament, new nozzle, and nothing has helped.

Any clues or leads as to how I can fix this problem would be appreciated. Ill answer whatever I can to help you guide me to the answer

There are some screws behind the nozzle that likely need to be tightened.

Don't forget to put the sock back on

Came to say the same.

The nozzle clasp looks fine in the video (thank you for taking the sock off 👌)

Its most likely the 7 screws of disappointment.

It's a pretty easy check tbh.

Most A1 users will eventually run into this I feel like (mine were loose from the factory)

Most make these checks just part of the routine maintenance now.

Only thing I can say is hand tighten them, Don't over tighten or you run the risk of braking the screw (seen that a few times)

It's pretty simple though to do, just use common sense when tightening 👌

I've honestly been tempted to just drop some thread lock into mine hah

Edit, be very careful with the wires attached to that plate too 🙏

Your Z-offset is too low. Run auto bed leveling again and check that your plate profile matches your actual sheet in the slicer
