I did a single row test print and it worked. Tried printing 2 times with enough to cover the platter. Tried with and without glue stick on two different plates. And slowed the initial pass speed. See pictures for failure. Please advise

what do you expect us to say without giving us any information about printer, filament , plate …
my oracel says : clean your plate

Bed adhesion looks fine.
You need to adjust your retraction and z hop settings.
I can say Maker World probably isn’t the culprit.
Suggest posting your issue in the right subforum and following the guidelines re: what to include when asking for help.
Thanks, will look at it , Higher or low numbers would you expect?
Retraction is probably fine, but still good to look at.
Z hop will need to be increased.
I’ve noticed that when the nozzle is constantly moving in small jumps like that, I get spaghetti unless I’ve upped the bottom range of the temp. Also be warry of drafts. My work space has a ceiling fan and it can create fudge cake in a field out of a print if it’s running. (I eventually built an enclosure that has a two inch airgap at the bottom. Warmer air get trapped above without over heating the motherboard).
Oh and this is posted in the wrong area. Just a suggestion.

Hi, I tested a single and it printed. Been trying to print several at a time.
I have failed both Mid-print at height separations. And stiction issues,
I have tried both textured and smooth plates and with and without glue stick.
the last pass was my last attempt on smooth. And I spotted that the adhesion
had failed a couple times at the front left, closest to my corner of the plate.
I also had to clean the head from build up a few times.
At this point my guess is moisture in the filament. Although my space only has 20%
or less humidty at any given point. New Mexico high desert.
See pict. Suggestions greatly accepted.
Have you considered slowly building the count upwards? i.e. 1 row, then the next print 2 rows, and the next 3 rows ect…?
Also, I believe there is and exclusion zone somewhere at the front left that Bambu forces as an area dedicated to… something, I can’t remember what.
Dry it.

The A1 mini does not have an exclusion zone.
I also know this was posted already with recommendations like drying the filament, adjusting speed, z hop, retraction, etc.

I adjusted speed , tried up and down. Didn’t make a difference, tried adding a second layer on the footing. Didn’t spot the Z hop setting.Or the Retraction. And once spotted, which way to make the attempt on the numbers?

I am not really sure what you were doing.
The big thing is that you did not have the parts sitting flat on the build plate. They were at a small angle causing only one edge to be contacting, so you had to have support underneath there. Rafts are also just awful.

I tried it in three different rotations. Including the automatic placement position.
Yes, a couple were horribly wasteful, with very large supports.
This last position was the auto placement.
Your suggestion, please.
My suggestion is the 3mf I uploaded

Yes I would say as well that you should try to dry your filament. And do the calibration of flow in the calibration section of Bambu Studio. If you print in the standard profiles of Bambu Studio you usually have no problems in my opinion. You just have to fine-tune it a bit.
This problem usually means your first layer is not consistent across the bed. Your single-row test worked because it only used one small area. When printing the full bed, small height differences start to matter a lot. One side of your print looks fine, while the other side fails badly. This suggests your nozzle height is uneven across the surface. Try re-leveling the bed and lowering the Z-offset slightly. Also slow the first layer speed and increase temperatures a bit. Clean the bed well with soap and water to remove oils. Check that your gantry is level and not tilted. You can also review similar issues here. Your printer works, but the full bed needs better consistency.
