AI Help

It sounds like you have already tackled some common issues that can cause poor first layer adhesion. Since you've verified that your bed is level and clean, and your temperatures are correct, you may want to double-check your bed surface for any damage or wear that could be affecting adhesion. Additionally, adjusting your initial layer height or trying a different adhesive such as glue stick or specialized bed adhesion sprays may help improve bed adhesion. If all else fails, you may need to look into calibrating your extruder steps or rechecking your filament quality.

Slicer is cura, on a ender 3 with a spider 3 extruder and pei bed

Temps are 195 and 55

Basically i do suggest to level it again just to be sure and lower the printing speed for the first layer to 5-25 mm/s.

#

I leveled it at least 5 times and the speed is already pretty low

I also work with a pei bed just so you know each time you take it of and place it back in a slightly different position you most likely need to level it again

Yeah I do that and if I touch it to much I wash it

Printer: Belt Tension

There is very little good information on what correct belt tension is, and virtually nothing on empirically setting belt tension. Gates, t...

its at 0 until layer 4

gloomy crow Oct 7, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

ok that can't be it

#

basically another common issue is bed woble you got a ender 3 so i would try to move the bed by hand to the left and right does it woble/move (same with the head)

stark remnant Oct 7, 2024, 5:44 PM

#

I got it to print right now. I tightened the eccentric nut on the bed and that seemed to do it

#

i am getting tired, the method i described above isn't belt tension it's solved by exactly what you did so perfect

so good night
