    Hey All,

    I am not getting this at all. When I extrude the PLA, it doesn't come out in one long line but rather like spaghetti looks. Any ideas?

    Cheers
    SB

    Without pictures, tough to say. I'd guess too hot (if it is stringing between parts of the print) or Z axis too HIGH (if it is coming out and laying down rounded). Too high (Z zero incorrect) can also cause it to stick to the extruder rather than the platter/bed.

    Layers are pressed onto the platter (they have a flat top if the height is right).
