3D printer (Bambu X1C) proving to be extra wasteful lately -- lots of failed prints. Thought it was the nozzle, so I replaced the hot end. Botched "High Temp Plate" stick re-apply (had too many air bubbles and didn't get put on perfectly straight) so I am trying my other plates, and they're all failing first layer. Just doesn't seem to get a smooth print anymore.

Kind of frustrated with this machine. It no longer detects the build plate QR code thing with its built-in camera and sometimes complains about the LIDAR.. I guess after 1 year they expect me to replace every part.
