Hello folks! Build a MK4 4 months ago and was very happy with it so far. Now I have bed adhesion problems (see pic attached). 3 weeks ago I had similar problems and after a chat with prusa and resetting the calibration / cleaning the build plate again it worked fine. Now the problem is back despite a clean build plate . After resetting the calibration I got one nice print and then the same problem again. Cold pull of the nozzle resulted in a clean tip and no better results, so I do not think there is any clogging. Also the plate and the should be alright, as I got good results inbetween. Any ideas / hints where my problem is? Link leads to image of the problem. Could not upload the file for some reason…

    Do you watch for that little bit of “ooze” every print?

    No (I have an XL with a nozzle wiping mod), but it might make sense to check if the filament/temperature combination produces ooze. Because when I had that Issue I had similar intermittent issues which looked like your image, which I guess is a too high nozzle due to build-up filament on the nozzle during probing, which results in the gaps between the laid down filament, as well as the low bed adhesion.

    I would check for a few prints if oozing is the core issue or not, and depending if I want to keep using that filament (e.g. a gifted 200g roll would not be worth the effort in my personal view), I might try and reduce the nozzle Temperature which the printer sets before tapping the bed.
