Chemical reaction in my car

Not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but, I got some fresh cut logs off the side of the road, cut a couple days prior to me grabbing them. I left them in my car for about a week and didn't drive my car at all in the process. I noticed that there was definitely some humidity in my car due to the windows being fogged up during the day from the moisture coming off the logs. Now when I got in my car today, the center logo on the steering wheel and a trim around a button on my center console has chrome paint on it, and both are now peeling/ chipping down to the plastic under it. What could have caused that to happen, I doubt it's moisture related. Does wood have some sort of chemical that could have caused that to happen? Or was it truly just the mix of moisture and heat. Nothing else in the car is damaged like that.

Does anyone know why my printer is doing this?

My printer was working mostly fine up until 3 days ago, where I was doing a print (print 1) and the top 2-3 layers of the print started to get hit by the nozzle as it was being printed. Then I tried to do another print (print 2), I was printing the same shape as when I first noticed an issue, but just more of them on the bed, the first color was the outline in black, which printed out fine, then the white which also printed fine, then the orange came and did what you see in the video. I came back to the print head stuck on the side of the print bed. So I test printed a multicolor benchy, and it came out fine. Then I another print (print 3) with the same gcode as the second print. This time the same thing happened as the second print where the nozzle got stuck on the side of the print bed after scraping the print bed quite a bit, both times it printed it printed the first two colors perfectly, then it completely started ruining the build plate on the third color placement. So I changed some stuff on the slicer, to get some new gcode and then print the new gcode, and the second half of the video is the result of the fourth print. I was able to catch the exact moment the issue of the nozzle scraping the build plate happened. And again it was on the second orange placement that it messed up at. I'm not sure what is going on, it's not gcode related. I ruined two build plates, one was double sided which is why I was able to get three prints that messed up.

This is the K1 Max, has anyone else faced a similar issue. I contacted support and I'm waiting on results. They haven't replied yet.

I live in NJ and am looking for Go Kart tracks that have open track days for practicing, as well as offer the venue for racing events. I know we have NJ MotorSports Park as an option for both racing and practicing, but I can't seem to find any others as far as real racing events go. It seems all of the other tracks around here are the indoor ones available to families and parties with kart rentals for a couple of laps. Does anyone know of any tracks in New Jersey or in any of the connecting states. I'm sure I'm not looking in the correct spot to find my more tracks, as Google is only giving me the family based track or the ones for parties.

I was able to fix this on all vehicles that allow you to use the arrows to steer, but with the helicopter you can't change the controls. Whenever I press the up or down button for the helicopter, it also moves the joystick even though I'm not pressing that side of the screen. This has been happening for a couple of months now and I have been unable to fix it. It's not my display as my touch points are turned on, and you can see I'm not touching the joystick when also pressing the up and down for the helicopter. There were some parts where I did touch it, but you should be able to see when I don't.
