Ender 3 S1 Bed Adhesion issues

[thorny salmon]

Hello! I am currently trying to resolve an issue with layer adhesion on my Ender 3 S1 printer. I have completed bed tramming and bed mesh leveling through the Professional Firmware and set the z-offset with paper manually, but I can't get my filament to stick to the bed of my printer well. It looks wobbly (almost like there isn't enough flow?) and the first layers on the brim of whatever I print often disconnect completely from the bed and slide around. I am running 200C on nozzle and 60C on bed. See attached photo for more information. Thank you!

Based on the information provided, it sounds like you may be facing a couple of common issues. Here are some troubleshooting suggestions to improve layer adhesion and bed adhesion:

1. Extrusion/Filament Flow Issue:

   • Ensure that your filament diameter and filament type settings are correctly configured in your slicer software.
   • Check if the nozzle is clogged or partially blocked. Clean or replace the nozzle if necessary.
   • Make sure that the extruder is properly calibrated to ensure the right amount of filament is being pushed through.

2. Bed Adhesion:

   • Try increasing the bed temperature to around 70-80°C to improve adhesion.
   • Consider using a bed adhesion aid like a brim or a good quality adhesive like glue stick, hairspray, or specialized bed adhesion sprays.
   • Check the leveling of the bed again to ensure that it's not too close or too far from the nozzle.

3. First Layer Calibration:

   • Fine-tune your Z-offset to get the first layer height ju...

Ender 3 S1 / Professional Firmware / Cura Slicer / No recent changes other than firmware upgrade / Tried running bed probing at 60C to simulate expansion due to temperature

Currently running at 35% speed of defined 50mm/s in Cura

Ended the print early

lower your z offset some more, the paper is to get a ballpark value, the lines should merge into a sheet whit the right offset

TLDR:

Setting your z-offset correctly ensures a good first layer squish and proper adhesion to the build plate (assuming its clean, see
?bedcleaning for more information). See
?leveling for a good representation of how the first layer should look like.
If in doubt: Refer to you your specific machines documentation.

For the Qidi X series printers: Adjusting the z offset from the Fluidd webinterface breaks it. Always set the z offset from the printers screen.
