New Problem - What happened here? - Photo
Never had this particular issue. Seems everything was going fine then this.
The bottom 1/2 inch or so printed normally, there should have been another inch that looked exactly like the bottom part that printed ok.
Instead the upper last inch came out as a bird's nest.
This exact same file printed fine previously so I don't think it's the x3g file
Reprinting now with the Right extruder and it's at 80% (far past this point) and doing fine.
Left extruder issue?

Best guess is that you had a layer that for whatever reason... filament heat, filament not feeding/jamming, bad section of filament, etc.... didn't stick right. From there, it'd just be a bird's nest the rest of the way as there is no previous layer for it to stick properly to.

I've had this where the extruder stopped heating for a few minutes, causing a gap, then spaghetti!
In my case, it was a board fault, with a dry joint to the heater socket. Never had this issue again since.

usually that kind of thing is if the model shifts on the build plate.
But yeah, not uncommon :-)

I've had similar results with dirty filament. I had a roll that just sat around for a long time and had a thin film of dust on it. It printed fine for a while, but then the dust started to collect together and limited how much plastic could come out of the nozzle. I figured any dust would just pass through. It turns out that was a far too optimistic assumption. I was able to purge the dust jam by just heating the nozzle up very hot and running clean filament through the nozzle.
