Simplify3D creating blob and getting filament stuck

I am new to 3D printing and I was recommended this software. However, I am only having problems with it. I have the Flashforge Creator Pro I have been able to print successfully with the default software, just not Simplify3D. What it's doing is, it's creating a blob in the front right corner, but when it's doing this, it's just causing the filament to blob around the extruder and making it get stuck. It then moves and tries to print, but at this point, the filament has already built up and around the extruder and just makes it worse.

Any help is appreciated!

Re: Simplify3D creating blob and getting filament stuck

That's just the starting script. If you don't like it, they let you change it to whatever you want. So just go to the G-Code tab and you can edit the script to be anything you want.

In your case, there's a G1 E move at the end of the script that it sounds like you want to remove
