chatting with monoprice support now he says it looks like it is out of calibration because head runs off plate at the start of the video. My printer does the exact same thing. No problems yet (knock wood.) I'm still leaning toward bad PLA -- it looks too soft or something. I don't have any experience with the two you bought, but my Ohfila filament did some of that peaking/pulling off the tape. I eventually just had to punt... Hatchbox and USAFilament are working well. Good luck with the new printer -- I hope you can find a new one to replace this one...

I'll try loading up the original filament (what's left of it) and try a test print. The white replacement filament I bought off Amazon had the best reviews.. like 4.5+ stars with 130 something reviews. I think Meph got the same brand as well.

I haven't used either of the 2 rolls of Hatchbox Filament from Amazon yet. THe one I am using right now is a roll from Monoprice, not the one that came with the printer.

R.I.P. Monoprice Maker Architect 3D. Gonna miss you! Sent it back in the mail today.
It's really a good printer. I suggest to those who still have it working fine for them to never unload the filament.. just clip off and load only. I think this is how my machine got screwed up. I couldn't unload it and the stepper motor started knocking / clicking as it tried to back it out.. I think this messed it up.
