AI Help

It sounds like your adhesion issue may be related to uneven cooling or insufficient bed temperature. Here are some suggestions to improve adhesion on your Bambu A1 printer with a standard textured PEI plate:

  1. Increase the bed temperature: Try slightly increasing the bed temperature to improve adhesion between the first few layers of the print and the build plate.

  2. Adjust cooling settings: Make sure that the part cooling fan is not running at full speed, as this can cause differential cooling and lead to warping or detachment. You may also want to try disabling the fan for the first few layers or reducing its speed.

  3. Check first layer settings: Ensure that the first layer is being squished onto the build plate properly. You can try adjusting the initial layer height or baby stepping to fine-tune the first layer adhesion.

  4. Clean the build plate: Make sure the build plate is clean and free of any debris or oil. You can use isopropyl alcohol or a specialized build plate clea...

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.
