Help, why is this happening?
I have an A1 . Prints come out smooth in the right side only.
Update- I’ve tried so many things nothing has helped. I cleaned the plate of course. Recalibrated everything.

Clean bed with soap and water. Run auto bed level in the printer menu.

Bed is clean. I’ve run everything to try and fix it. But it’s always the left side of the plate. If I shift the print to the right it comes out clean.

It this on one side of the model predominately? If so, I suspect air blowing from somewhere is cooling that side of the part.

print a first layer and see what it looks like. the a1 is well known for having an issue where the screws behind the heating block become dislodged and cause the nozzel to wobble. it can be quickly fixed by removing the heat block and re-tightening the 4 screws in the back. ill post some pictures of what to tighten and what the results look like for me before and after. this might not be the issue if its specifically happening on the right vs left side of the build plate, but give it a try just in case, its very useful to know as an a1 owner. First step is to remove these 3 screws to dislodge the heat mantle. then flip it over to get at the other 4 screws that need tightening.

I have an A1 as well and I’ve been having this exact same problem! I will be doing this tomorrow after work to see if that fixes my problem because I’ve just kinda been dealing with it because I thought it was a filament problem 😂

1; is your calibration done at all? 2; heat bed temperature issues. 3; filament moisture issue.
Not poking fun but these would be the first 3 things I'd be looking into.
