I just stopped a failing print and noticed some weird extrusions happening (not english native speaker, also I'm a 3d printing noob, don't know whether that's the right word). You can see it in the image. Any tips to improve printing quality?
I'm printing on an Ender 3 V3 SE. This print was with standard settings.
EDIT: as a clarification, this isn't why I stopped the print. It failed to adhere to the print plate at some spots. Redid my z offset and hopefully that solved it.
It's either over extruding or a bed level issue. First level bed again and if it still happening calibrate your extrusion flow. Since you had adhesion issue, probably just bed leveling will solve issue. If bed is well leveled and still have adhesion issue, clean your bed with basic soap and hot water (and avoid touching bed with your hand as much as possible)
