Help me fix this stupid thing please

So I have had the printer its a A1 and its been working fine for a while now but for some reason it seems to be acting weird now laying very little filament onto the bed and purging after barely making a tiny line I tried another print and it paused on like the first layers saying the first layer might have errors please help me out here I dont know how to fix this and anywhere else I look online nobody is talking about it here is a image of the print i tried doing a benchy but i stopped it because it purged like 10 purge turds after only laying this much on the bed

Do you know how if the hotend is in place correctly? Make sure the clip is in place etc. I’d check for a clog as well (heat up the nozzle to clear it, feed filament, cool it, heat it…repeat til you don’t see anything weird…someone else can explain better i’m sure)

Its not a hot end issue (i think) i swapped between a 0.2 and 0.4 nozzle and it held the same results

Makes sense it wouldn’t be that, then. How about calibration? Have you run the calibration mode lately?

Is that something in the settings?

how do you run “calibration mode”

make sure these 7 screws are tight, they are known to come loose on the A1

i somehow managed to loose the slightly smaller screwdriver

yeah im not sure if its supposed to be black and covered in plastic but the screws are tightened XD

yeah that doesnt look good might have to replace that heat element, might be tough to clean that off but it could be part of the issue

its not supposed to be black right?
