I printed a model in PETG shortly after a PLA print, which was fine, and it damaged the plate as shown. What’s odd is I’ve printed this same model with this same filament on this printer and it was fine. The temps in the gcode are the same between those prints.

Is this a Z-offset issue? Would PLA and PETG require different Z-offsets on the same printer?

Edit for more details: Creality Ender 3 V3 SE, stock plate.

    Then I would suggest checking if you have filament g-code set in your slicer, I guess it’s possible the z-stop was calibrated with a z-offset applied, and when it was removed by setting PLA the nozzle tried to go slightly below 0. What firmware are you running?

      It’s just the default firmware, V1.0.6.

      Z-offset is set at 0 in all the gcode I’ve checked so I think it’s the printer.
