Nozzle drags through already printed material

That usually means you are extruding too much material or if its on the first 1-10 layers i means your first layer is being printed too close to the bed. If you can change these parameters on 5th gen i have no idea.

The malfunction usually begins after about the first quarter of the print has completed so it doesn't seem like it is an issue with being printed too close to the bed. In regard to extruding too much material do you think it is a layer height issue or a nozzle temperature issue?
