However, just this morning, I tried to start another print... when it gradually stopped extruding half-way through the first layer... then it started again... then it stopped again... by the second layer, it looked like it wasn't extruding at all anymore. This is what it looks like:
I can't think it would be a temperature or settings issue since I haven't changed anything since the last successful print. The extruder temperature is set at 230 degrees with the original thermistor, and I am printing ABS.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, and what do you think would be the most likely culprit? Thanks in advance! I'll give any more details if needed.

If you look at just the extrusion on the skirt you will see irregularities in the shape, thickness and width. The corners are more round raised noodle while the center front is squeezed down, flattened and almost split into two pieces. That flat part of the skirt coincides with your extrude issues. A simple case of to too much back pressure.
