Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

I just had this happen too and it was caused by a bad z-offset reading. The nozzle hooked one of the parts on the bed that came loose and drug it around while forming the blob.
How did you diagnose that?
It was pretty obvious because the calibration lines it lays down at the beginning of the print weren't adhered to the bed, which told me that it didn't probe the bed correctly to establish the correct height and was printing with too large of an offset.
