make a video of it failing, get up in there with the camera.

#

also attach the gcode

#

how are you sending the print to the printer? sd card? @rancid eagle

#

that's the gcode you're putting on the sdcard. drag and drop it into discord so I can see it

#

can you get a more top-down picture/video of the plastic on the bed. my first guess would be your nozzle is too far from the bed. but the angle makes it hard to observe.

#

no. I want a more top-down view. 😛

#

but. yeah, the nozzle is too far from the bed

#

if you're confident in your "leveling" you can just equally raise all four corners a quarter turn or so until it works

#

ideally, but I won't tell if you won't tell if you do it cold.

#

paper isn't a precision tool, but it can help you get the corners consistent at least

#

once you're confident it's consistent you can adjust things in software with a z offset or by adjusting all four knobs equal amounts

#

hmm?

#

how are you changing the z offset?

#

just change it in the menu and save the settings if necessary. nothing else should be needed

#

my first guess would be that your nozzle is still too far away

#

you can stop leveling it. manually raise the bed or lower the nozzle with the z offset until it's not too far away

#

there is no bed leveling probe on this printer, right? all manual?

#

then yeah, raise bed or lower nozzle

onyx moth
#

make a video of it attempting to print from more top down view please

#

camera above the bed. top-down, please

#

please stop having the camera from the side

onyx moth
#

is it actually sticking here or it's just happening to lay stationary?

#

seems like you are too far from the bed then

#

what are you doing? how are you adjusting it?

#

just loosen all four knobs exactly a 1/2 turn or whatever

#

idk what you are talking about with "near touch"

onyx moth
#

stop using the paper

#

I'm not saying 1/2 turn until paper.
