    My friend just did the following tests with my printer

    Put his red PLA in and did a bed level test. It was perfect.

    Put my black PLA and did a bed level test. It wasn't good.

    Put his black PLA in and did a bed level test. It was perfect.

    He tried one last time doing a bed level test with my black PLA and it wasn't good.

    It seems as though it is my PLA at fault as when he prints with either of his PLA he gets good bed level test prints.

    Could it be that my PLA has some got moisture on it and that is what is causing my PLA to give out bad prints?

    I am printing on glass and I use pritt stick.
    I use Cura to slice my files. This is happening with all the things I try and print. It also happened when I just tried to print a test file that came with the printer. I have enclosed a photo of the failed test file print.

    well you can't dry filament out too much.
    But what is the humidity in your flat ?

    people who like hot rooms often have them quite humid as well. (both can come from lack of air flow)

    and at the end of the day it's a creality ender - so, yeah lots of problem are expected.
    But this definitely seems to be your living environment :-)

    Try leaving the filament in the fridge overnight, NOT in a bag and see if that makes a difference.
