AI Help

It sounds like your issue may be related to either bed leveling or bed adhesion. Here are a few steps you can try:

  1. Make sure your bed is properly leveled. You may need to adjust the knobs under the bed to ensure it's at the right height.

  2. Clean the build plate with isopropyl alcohol before starting each print to ensure good adhesion.

  3. Consider using a brim or a raft in your slicing software (Cura) to provide more surface area for the print to stick to.

  4. You can also try using a glue stick or a specialized bed adhesive like hairspray or a PEI sheet to improve adhesion.

If these steps don't solve the issue, please provide more details about your printing settings so we can better assist you.

Tips for better first layer success

The first layer is quite literally the foundation of a successful print. These are some of the things to keep in mind:

  • Wash your print surface with dish soap and water, refer to ?bedcleaning .
  • Ensure your printing temperatures are appropriate. For PLA, the ideal bed temperature is 55°C-60°C. If the lines appear to come out "gummy" and forms clumps, raising the nozzle temperature may help. Calibrate your nozzle temperature by printing a temperature tower. Refer also to ?platemps .
  • Relevel your bed and ensure your nozzle distance is equally spaced at each corner, refer to ?paperlevel . If your printer is equipped with a bed meshing probe such as a BLTouch or CRTouch, make sure your Z-offset positions the nozzle close enough to the bed, refer to ?z-offset for additional information. If your printer has automatic Z-offset calibration, make sure the nozzle is clean while the calibration runs.
  • You can confirm that your leveling and Z-offset is correct by observing your first layer extrusion by printing a full layer test: Printables, Thingiverse Refer to ?leveling for help with the interpretation of the results.
  • Ensure the nozzle is not colliding with the print. This usually presents itself as loud noises and layer shifting. Some causes may include overextrusion, insufficient cooling, mechanical Z axis issues, or insufficient Z hop
  • For warp-prone materials such as ABS, Nylon, Polypropylene and others an enclosure is recommended, ensure ambient temperatures are high enough (40°C+) and stable. Consider using a specialized bed adhesive.

Ah thanks I think the problem was I leveled it really badly and just wrong I leveled good and now it’s printing fine it’s halfway through a boat but I’ll see if it’s completed in like a hour
