Filament blobs on print

[t.mcgaughey]

While I’m printing I keep getting globs of filament also one corner of first layer is always lifted like in photos. Any ideas of what is going on here ?

filament could be too wet.

I always keep the moisture in my ams low

…may be a Fingerprint on surface?

I need to add these to my AMS.

1. I take it they “tilt” out in order to clear, hence the narrow top?
2. they are intended to use loose beads and not packets?

[t.mcgaughey]

Yes loose silica beads …
You can dry them out in an Air fryer and use them again and again…you can find the print on maker world and the beads on Amazon

Update; I tensioned all the belts including the z-belt on the bottom and this issue seems to have cleared up. I wonder if the timing was off with the extruder because the XY and z Axes were out of sync

These machines are very finicky and require a lot of maintenance
