A few things I might consider/think to try:

  • How old is the PLA you're using? Is it possible it's absorbed too much moisture?
  • Are you printing too fast or possibly under-extruding?
  • Skip the glue. I've found it's just gunk that separates the filament from the print bed, worsening adhesion in my testing. Clean your print bed with rubbing alcohol before hand.
  • How old is your nozzle? If you've been printing for a few hundreds of hours, the inner diameter of the nozzle might be worn out.
  • How hot is your print bed? For PLA, I'll usually keep mine around 60°C.

I don't have a Bambu, but these are a few of the things I've learned with my Monoprice Maker Select v2 and Ankermake M5.

I recently softmodded my ps2 for about $30 (freemcboot memory card and large usb drive) and I've got hundreds of hours of nostalgia driven gameplay ahead of me. It's incredible to think that I have about 40 old, amazing games for less than half the price of a single new AAA game.
