Topic: Issue with clear yellow XYZ filament on da Vinci Nano

I can print very well with the red XYZ filament that came with the printer. Then I bought a spool of XYZ Junior PLA in clear yellow and that filament is curling around the nozzle. And I have not one finished print yet.
I have been rewinding both spools, they do not jam anymore.
I think there are not many settings that I can adjust myself on this printer. It detects the filament itself.

Any ideas what I can do?

I include a photo.

Slice your object again and check "generate support" option and try the print again.

Also make sure you run the level calibration setting each time you change spools.

Thank you. I don't know yet how to re-slice. Probably outside XYZmaker? The use of support got even worse, it was a mess already within the first 5 layers.

I did do the callibration. And yes indeed it was necessary.
I had to adjust the printbed. But the result was just as bad.
Pity that I cannot post a photo in this forum.

I think with support, the mess you are talking about may refer to supporting material and should be removed after print is finished.
