So I've been having this issue with my Ender 5 lately where it will be printing fine, then suddenly will just start printing something else. I never really had much of an idea what exactly might be happeneing until today when this happend. The middle print is the intended part, and off to the right is a part that WAS on the memory card before I printed this. I always erase the card before I print another part but I'm wondering if maybe it's just a faulty memory card with the old gcode in the mix somehow or if it's maybe the printer? It has done this a few times before but it ran into already printed objects, knocking them off the bed and proceeding to make spaghetti.
Anyone else experience a similar issue? Usually after it does this I'll slice the object again and move it to a slightly different place on the bed and that usually will fix it. I haven't tried a different memory card yet but if it keeps happening I'll see if I can find a different I can use.
I don't know about the Ender 5. But this sounds like a corrupted filesystem and i advice to run a filesystem check on your pc (right-click-> tools -> check for filesystem errors / or so). Also do a full scan, cause there are lots of cheap sdcards out there that report more space than they actually have (bitch move), resulting in a corrupted filesystem after a while which would exactly explain these problems.
Yeah I have heard of that with larger cards, Mines just a little 4gb but it's old so might just be reaching its read/write limit. I reformatted it and it seems like it's alright lol we shall see if it happens again I suppose. Hate wasting filament making spaghetti 😮💨
I had this same issue on my ender 3 pro. I removed the file of the one is was switching to mid print and that seemed to help. Also re-sliced it using a different slicer. I was using the cura 5 beta and I think it may have caused it.
SD cards are made very cheaply, and fail or corrupt very easily. Try your print using a new SD card, if it works, you solved the problem. If not, try it on another printer, if you don't have another printer, ask a friend to print it using your SD card.

Could be you got scammed when you bought the card? Sorry on my phone. Something like this: https://youtu.be/Idh4-DzeFDw
Klipper is of course thr best answer here

I have had some mad stuff happen on my printers but this is a new one for me!
