Printer is messing up prints

[languid pumice]

I have an Elegoo Neptune 3 Plus and I got a filament heater to help get rid of the humidity issue (photo provided). I switched from the green PETG to the gold PLA because I’ve heard PLA is easier to get the prints going but when I tried to print a calibration cube and benchy they both ended in total disaster. I’m looking for help to identify what I need to fix to get my printer to print properly.

It's great that you're taking steps to address the humidity issue with a filament heater. When transitioning from PETG to PLA, ensure to adjust the print settings accordingly, such as nozzle temperature, bed adhesion, and cooling. If your calibration cube and benchy prints are failing, it could indicate issues with leveling, filament flow, or cooling. Start by rechecking your bed leveling, ensure proper filament flow, calibrate extrusion, and adjust cooling settings for PLA. Additionally, make sure the filament is properly loaded and the nozzle is free of any clogs. If the issues persist, feel free to provide more details for further troubleshooting.

Your first layers are way too far from the bed. Z offset needs to be lowered

Also tension and tighten your belts

Thank you! I’ll change those real quick and then print a benchy to test it
