  2. Ensure that your print bed is clean and free from any residue or debris. Any small imperfections on the print surface can cause the nozzle to catch and drag.

  3. Double-check your slicer settings, especially the layer height and initial layer settings. If the layer height is too low, the nozzle may press too hard into the top layer, causing dragging.

  4. Check that the cooling fan is functioning properly and blowing air onto the print. Insufficient cooling can lead to the print not solidifying properly, causing the nozzle to drag.

  5. If the issue persists, you may need to adjust your retraction settings. Retraction helps prevent filament oozing during trave...
