Hello, i have been printing on my monoprice maker select for a few months now with out too many issues. However recently i changed colors and now i am unable to get a print completed. I can get a first layer down fine, but then the rest are air prints. Im printing xyz pla filament, ive tried temp ranges 185-215, bed temp at 60. Leveled the bed between each failed print, and also printing a stl i have succesfully printed dozens of. Starts out fine, then after it will start the extruder click, then stop extruding. a slight heat creep jam will cause me either to tear down the extruder clear jam, then refeed the filament. I can then raise z axis, and freely extrude 100mm with no issues. Start the print and repeat with clog. I finally disassembled the nozzle assembly today cleared any debris in the tube and nozzle. Reassemble and repeat to jam. If i raise the bed height it seems to jam faster, i assume that caused the heat creep jam. If i lower the bed a little i get blobs and spagetti. I do notice a slight banding in the brim of the print maybe every 6 or so lines instead of a solid brim. When on the cooler side of the temps it seems like the extruder has a harder time feeding and i will get a little filament grinding. And on the flip side higher temps make it a bit further, but then heat creep jams. Starting to think the issue is the pla it self. I keep it stored with the little packets to absorb moisture and keep them sealed in the plastic bag it was shipped in. The last print i was able to complete had some gaps in the wall (attached pic) Since then nothing seems to finish. Any tips of things to try would be great as ive run out if ideas.

Wished I had an answer for you. I experienced this same issue as well and have not found a resolution. Did you by any chance figure this out since you submitted this post?
