# Problems after successful first Benchy - Failed prints with same configuration (Anet A8)

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-10-01)

I’m using an Anet A8 and recently printed my first Benchy successfully. The first print came out really well, but now, with the exact same configuration, all I get are failed prints. I’ve attached some pictures of the failed prints.

Here’s the configuration I used:

* Filament: PLA
* Print temperature: 200 °C
* Bed temperature: 60 °C
* Print speed: 50 mm/s
* Layer height: 0.2 mm
* Retraction: 5 mm at 50 mm/s
* Infill: 15%
* Cooling: 100%

As mentioned, the first Benchy printed perfectly, but now I’m getting layer issues, poor layer adhesion, or under-extruded areas. Has anyone experienced this before? What could be causing this sudden poor print quality even though I didn’t change anything in the settings? What should I check or adjust?
