Debugging and Calibration

Hello. Not new to 3d printing, but I am having trouble with calibrating my 3d printer.

Specifically, it seemed that it seemed that the hot end had grooved into my print bed. Or maybe it's plastic? I definitely felt the grooves. I tried cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol, but it doesn't do anything.

Here's the picture below:

Grooves in bed?

Also, I am pretty sure that the superPRINDA is below the printer nozzle, though I am going to be checking to be sure.

Topic starter answered:
Cleaning drill bit inside the nozzle?

I think I know what's going on! I think the cleaning drill bit that I used got stuck in the nozzle. Working on removing the nozzle to see if it contains the drilling bit.

The idea occurred to me when i was attempting to clean the nozzle with one of the drill bit I purchased, and the end disappeared, presumably into the nozzle.

Yikes.

The old drill bit in the nozzle trick.  Gotcha.
