I have been trying to print and everytime i print it is either too smooshed to the plate so i will raise it by .01 but if i raise it, it will end up not sticking. This has been happening quite frequently and i do not know how to fix it.

AI Help

It sounds like you may be experiencing adhesion issues due to the nozzle height. Make sure your bed is leveled properly before printing. Adjust the leveling knobs while keeping a sheet of paper between the nozzle and the bed until there is light friction. You can also try using a brim or raft in your slicer settings to improve bed adhesion. Additionally, ensure your bed is clean and apply a thin layer of glue stick or adhesive if needed.

Cleaning Your 3D Printer Bed

While IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) may dissolve the oily compounds built up on your bed, it mostly just spreads those oils around. For a more permanent solution use a degreasing agent such as dish soap and water (unscented, as those sometimes have chemicals that make the bed adhesion worse) under warm water, scrub the entire plate taking care to push the soap into all the cracks (if your bed is textured). Dry with a lint free cloth or leave to air dry. You can then put the build surface back on to your printer. If you like you can use the isopropyl alcohol to clean the bed intermittently between prints, but please note it still wont remove any of the oily compounds.

If you are still experiencing adhesion issues it may be z offset, speeds or temperatures. You may also find more success in using adhesion boosters such as hairspray, glue-stick, or specially formulated adhesives for 3d printing. Happy printing!
