Started my first couple of prints with the X1C, first print did fine no problems, last couple of prints, I get extruded pla filament stuck to the bottom of the nozzle, doesn’t seem to be getting cleaned and deposited in the poop Shute ? what should I check?
I would check, with a brass wire brush, that the nozzle is clean before the next print.
You could also check or make sure the nozzle sock is not torn or missing.
Eventually you will have to do some maintenance.
This the maintenance wiki for your printer

Yea I understand there will be maintenance to do, but didn’t expect it after the first print. I’ve done 3 prints so far and nothing has come out of the poop shoot yet, so there has to be something stopping it from dropping the filament through the shoot.
Some additives in any filament can stick more so on the non hardened steel uncoated nozzle, if you have any SuperLube Multi-use PTFE lube you can use it with a Q-tip on the OUTSIDE tip and it will last about 10-12 print runs of 10+ hrs longest print run was 33hrs and lasted 10 prints after that. do not let it drip on a plate though
