I tried to print something and my Ender 5 seems to have failed and printed in the air half way through. I tried it again and the second image happened. What do I do?

Sit back and enjoy the art your printer printed for you

Three things I had to learn:
- keep the bed clean
- keep the bed every new print clean
- keep t*# f*^%# bed clean
After these three points my prints are really better.

Yeah we have all had this happen. First things for start with releveling your bed. Was the print still adhered to the bed? The non failed section I mean. Check around your nozzle for any of the tape that hold your insulation in to be hanging down. Last time this happened to me was after I fixed a clogged nozzle and a sliver of tape was poking out and grabbed the filament on its way out. When you relevel you bed are you using a sheet of paper for your gap check? I would say your gap was to big combined with your bed being unlevel but it’s hard to say.
Also I post this a lot for people. Really good guide by Simplify3D (software I use) and has a picture of just about any issue you can have then what will cause it and how to fix it. I would book mark this too.
