Purchased this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122308278979, a G10 FR4 sheet. Washed with dish soap, peeled the film thats on it like you do with acrylics, was partially off anyway. First layer does not stick, bed temp is 60. Cannot upload pics I'm afraid

It sounds like you are having issues with bed adhesion for your 3D printing project. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Ensure that your bed is level and properly calibrated. Use a piece of paper to check the distance between the nozzle and the bed at all four corners and in the center of the bed.

  2. Clean the bed surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue left from the dish soap.

  3. Adjust the bed temperature to be slightly higher (around 70-80°C) for better adhesion, especially if you are using a material that requires higher bed temperatures.

  4. Try using a thin layer of glue stick, hairspray, or a specialized 3D printing adhesive like "Magigoo" on the bed surface to help the first layer adhere better.

  5. If you are still experiencing adhesion issues, consider using a different type of bed surface or adding a raft or brim to your print to improve adhesion.

If you continue to have trouble, feel free to provide more details, and I'll do my best to ...

First layer temp is uh, 220

#

@severe gale I request assistance with the g10, it's not G10ing

#

May you please tell me what magics you have worked on your sheet of G10

severe gale
#

How thick is your G10 sheet

severe gale
#

Hmm ok

#

So things aren’t sticking?

proud bough
#

yep

#

Even when first layer is perfect and too low

severe gale
#

OK so step one is try bumping your bed temp up

proud bough
#

from 60?

severe gale
#

Yeah

#

FR4 likes a bit extra heat

#

Try 75

proud bough
#

Sure

severe gale
#

If you’re still getting adhesion issues you need to scuff up your plate

#

Nothing too major, just a scotchbrite pad or something

#

Yep that works

proud bough
severe gale
#

It shouldn’t

#

FR4 is a fiberglass so it should release anything on it after cooling down below 60C

#

Alright good, I had issues like that with my PEI sheet

severe gale
#

Yeah it’s a fun bonus feature of PEI lol

proud bough
#

Ok, so far so good, it has done something and hasn't detached from buildplate

proud bough
severe gale
#

Haha yeah

proud bough
#

Yea it seems the higher temp did it, if not I'll scuff up the plate. Thank you so much! Was getting worried on whether this thing is scrap

#

Did your Ender 3 not have garolite on the backside of its build plate?

#

No curling with 50% fan

severe gale
#

Or is that only on older E3s
