Hello friends! I bought a 2yo 355mm Voron 2.4 that is great shape with about 400 printer hours on it. I used to have a Sovol Zero with a the small Tyson build plate and it worked flawlessly so I shelled out for the build plate for this one.
I am finding that my prints are not sticking to the Tyson bed but are sticking okay to a thinner PEI sheet withthat came with the printer if I use glue.
Thoughts on how to figure out what the problem might be?

Welcome! Lets start with some pictures
Also, when you get a chance, can you please select a country flag at #rules

I picked a flag and when I do a print tomorrow (I am doing one right now with the flexible textured PEI plate) I will use the Tyson plate and take pictures

Got some pictures of what happens
My print on the regular textured PEI plate with glue worked just fine.

looks like your z offset is too high

take a look at that tuning guide to get started

Every time it prints I am like 99% sure it is doing tap configuration for the Z offset
But thank you for the suggestion
Follow-up question - should I do the calibration hot or cold?

Even with a tap, the correct z offset often varies a bit between different build plates (not a lot, but enough to make prints not stick sometimes).
I don't think temperature matters all that much, but might as well do it at "the usual temperature" where measurements are done during prints (typical bed temp, hotend at 150°C).

Thank you both @gusty parcel & @grizzled rock

Not a problem. Please let us know if you need anything else

I have done the paper test three times and I am still not getting prints to stick to a clean bed. I get 10 to 11 layers in and it lets go. I am trying to print a calibration cube in PolyMaker ASA. I had previously done all calibration prints but with a different build plate. I wonder if the Tyson plate I am using just doesn’t work well with the heated bed. I am using Demon Klipper macros and it does a 15 minute soak before printing.
260 hot end, 100 bed
When everything cools down I am going to try again with a different plate

Can you post a picture of the bottom layer please

You may want to open a thread in #slicers_and_print_help cause it looks like your first layer is too high and you may have some pressure advance issues. But I am not entirely sure of any other issue you may be having
