printing problem

[sweet jolt]

Hey guys so I haven't printed in a while and decided to print for fun again but when I tried preheating my pla I accidentally pressed autolevel instead and ever since then printer has not been printing the same and filament always does this or not stick. Idk if it's because I need to manually level my bed again or lower my z-offset, please need help 🙏🏼

Level and clean your bed

[sweet jolt]

Alrighty I'll do that

[sweet jolt]

Way better but small pieces seem to look like this for the middle 😅

[sweet jolt]

Nevermind it's doing it again 😞 I already releveled it 3 times

Try using some hairspray or a hot glue stick on the bed, I use hairspray, had the same issue and that fixed my adhesion issue

I also have the ender 3 neo

[sweet jolt]

@main chasm alrighty I'll try that

[main chasm]

Yeah you don't need much, also what temp is your bed

[sweet jolt]

Temp is at 60 for my bed

[main chasm]

I do mine at 65 C

A slow first layer with increased nozzle temp also helps

I do my prints at 210 but my first layer is at 215, and I slow mine to 40% of 80 mm/sec

[sweet jolt]

Ah okay okay well filament already like oozes out for my printer once the extruder is at 200

But I'll try that as well

[main chasm]

If it's already liquidy I'd probably keep it there

Just make sure it's a slow first layer

[sweet jolt]

Alright then I'll increase the temp in bed, slow down first layer to 80 mm/sec and I'll see if hair spray will work as well

Thanks for the help 👍🏼

[main chasm]

Wait what's your current speed

Lower it to like

30

[sweet jolt]

I'm not sure I'm not at home at the moment but once I get home I'll let you know, and okay

[sweet jolt]

@main chasm I have my print speed at 100 when it prints so should I lower it to 80 or 30?

[main chasm]

Lower it to 30 for the first layer then increase

[sweet jolt]

Okay

@main chasm I slowly increased it to 60 looks good but should I increase to 80 already?

[main chasm]

Try it

[sweet jolt]

Alrighty everything seems fine for now, I'm doing a calibration cube just to make sure the bed is balanced and stuff I'll send a pic after and thanks a lot for reals!!

[main chasm]

no problem!

[sweet jolt]

@main chasm came out good but looks messed up on top and sides a bit okay

Anyway to solve this issue?

[main chasm]

hmm

not 100% sure

[sweet jolt]

Maybe just keep the speed low because the first layer came out perfect

[main chasm]

i keep mine at 80 mm

anything more i have problems so its worth a shot, can also vary with your filament

[sweet jolt]

Probably but I appreciate the help maybe I'll just keep the speed low, it's because it was perfect back then before I accidentally messed with it like it would always be at 100 speed and prints would come out great but I accidentally pressed autolevel when I was trying to change temperature and well it all messed up and yeah 😅
