failing print

[echo fog]

i have this snake file that i have printed before and now all of the sudden i cannot get it to print again. When i printed this file the first time i did not have a brim set. i have re leveled my printer adjusted my Z offset, adjusted temp up and down trying to get this file to print again.
i have been able to print other dragons and files just fine. i have also re sliced this snake with the same settings i print all of my other items with and it still keeps failing. it looks like poor bed adhesion but at first it is stuck down great but then 30 ish min into the print it starts to lift up in places to the point it starts snagging on the nozzle and pulling it completely off the bed.
Elegoo neptune 3 Plus Temps 205 to 210 nozzle and 65 to 75 bed temp

AI Help

It sounds like you may be facing issues with warping or poor bed adhesion specifically with this snake file. Here are a few suggestions to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Clean the bed surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to ensure proper adhesion.
2. Check if the bed is heated uniformly across the entire surface.
3. Try using a brim or a raft to provide extra adhesion and stability during printing.
4. Consider using a different type of bed adhesion material such as a glue stick or specialty 3D printing adhesives.
5. Experiment with different bed temperatures to find the optimal setting for this specific print.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be helpful to further analyze the G-code of the failing print to identify any potential issues or errors.

The snake that keeps failing

But this beautiful dragon just printed perfectly yesterday no issues at all

Your z offset is wrong, nozzle too high. That the blue one stuck down was lucky

These should be nearly invisible especially on a textured surface

[echo fog]

which is odd because i use a piece of paper to measure my z offset
ive been doing it this way since i started 3d printing and have never had this issue before

i will adjust down my offset and try again
thanks for the response tho
what do you use to set your z offset ?

Leveling your printer with paper

While often recommended, paper "leveling" also often causes issues for people. The reason is simple - it is a very inaccurate way of levelling your bed. Theres no defined units, you are working off feel alone and that is highly subjective. It's not easy to explain through words - "just scraping the paper" can mean something to one person and something completely different to another.

What paper levelling is useful for, is getting the bed at the same height away from the nozzle in all four corners of the bed. As long as you can consistently make sure you have the same "feeling" for each corner, your bed should have minimal tilt in relation to your gantry.

It may be higher than it should be, it may be lower than it should be. But you can easily correct that - print something, look at the first layer and just adjust the levelling knobs accordingly. Since your bed should not be tilted anymore, you can easily turn each knob, in the exact same increments to raise and lower it, or adjust Z offset on your machine or slicer (refer to ?zoffset).
This of course, assumes your bed is not warped.

Paper and I dial it in while it prints.

ok i will have to start watching the first layer go down
Thanks again
