    My printer has been printing perfectly for the first month I've had it with no issues. now it has started doing this weird stringy brittle thing. it happens at random times when i'm printing. any ideas whats going on?
    Ive tried re exporting the gcode and tried switching Filaments. i'm using MakerBot PLA printing at 200 degrees
    Attached my matter control settings as well Matter Controll Setting.jpg Fails.jpg

    moisture in the filament will do that. Also the ends of rolls always seem to print a bit worse than the beginning, but that to can be due to moisture. You can always back your filament to get the moisture out.
