I think my extruder is too high or something idk
north lily
One never used glue usually leveling keeps it from falling for me
dapper vessel
I’m trying my best but idk what’s happening
Maybe I have the extruder to high or low, idk is my bed is leveled
It’s dragging the fil
dapper vessel

It’s dragging the filament as it prints and won’t stick

I ment to say I sorry spell check

Print a bed level test.
north lily
Have you don’t a level test print ?

Done *

Looks pretty leveled when I print out the test
placid crescent
Show us.
dapper vessel
dapper vessel
Bed level? Like the first layer?
placid crescent
No. Go to thingiverse. Type bed level test
There’s thousands
Pick any one and print it
And then show us what the print looks like
dapper vessel
Ok
dapper vessel
And then show us what the print looks like
It’s dragging
north lily
It’s probably to high
Did you do the paper method to lvl the bed ? Or how did you lvl it
dapper vessel
I didn’t do a paper method idk what that is
dapper vessel
Did you do the paper method to lvl the bed ? Or how did you lvl it
Idk what’s a paper test first time using a printer
north lily
It’s when you put a piece of paper under the nozzle and print bed to get the right about of drag lots of videos on YouTube
dapper vessel
Ok thanks, also how can you lower the nozzle for a 3D print on a Ender 3
north lily
The knobs on the bottom raises the bed I believe
Don’t have an Ender 3 but that’s how I do it on my Ender 5 plus
placid crescent
I linked you to a video in #jarvis-hotline. That will answer a lot of your questions
dapper vessel
You can raise the bed? Is it to the left or to the right? Sorry I’m new to this
north lily
I linked you to a video in <#817515279046279239>. That will answer a lot of your...
I was thinking of tagging there but was not sure if it was allowed to tag people there
placid crescent

It is. Anyone can tag there. In fact, please do
As long as you don’t do it out of spite. Then the ban hammer comes out
north lily
Will do for future times thanks
dapper vessel
Am I doing the paper test right?
The rule was to let the nozzle scrap and glide on the paper right
north lily
Yeah some friction without the paper getting stuck
When your able to push and pull the paper from under and you feel it’s dragging slightly
placid crescent
Did you watch the video? This is all in there
dapper vessel
Yeah there was no friction
And when I print
I eve you babysit z
Use baby sit Z
I literally have no idea what I’m doing wrong
placid crescent
Is the at a bed level print?
You’re too far away. Raise your bed.
What is this? Glue?
dapper vessel
I literally don’t know where the white spots came from it just appeared when I used the printer and yes I use glue at times and it doesn’t work
I raised the bed and it still gave me a bad level print
placid crescent
Show it to us
north lily
Maybe it’s plastic wrap from the metal sheet ?
dapper vessel
Here is the bed I just cleaned it
placid crescent
Your bed should not look like that. What did you clean it with?
dapper vessel
Soap and water, when I first use the printer it began looking like this
placid crescent
Was there film on it like @north lily said?
north lily
That’s what It looks like to me specially if it’s new and nothings been used on it
dapper vessel
I’m gonna pre heat the plastic like Frankly Built said
My nozzle is at 200 and Bed at 82
north lily
Bed too hot
placid crescent
Woah. Bed shouldn’t be that high
sullen kettle

We just got our ender 3 as well. What the guys are telling you is the nozzle is too high. It is extruding it out but it should be sorta squishing it between the bed and the nozzle. If you look at yours close it is probably mostly round. A single layer will normally be flat and thin if it is correct. Bed 50.
placid crescent
A good starting point for the Bed is around 60
sullen kettle
Woah. Bed shouldn’t be that high
What does hotter bed do? I've been running at 50.
dapper vessel
How can I make sure plastic is squishing
sullen kettle
How can I make sure plastic is squishing
You'll be able to tell as it prints.
north lily
The bed temp kept the print from coming off the bed also run it with eco mode off
dapper vessel
Ok it’s printing
sullen kettle
Like the others said, the piece of paper should have resistance when you pull on it.
placid crescent
This is a 3 from the looks of it. That doesn’t have eco mode
north lily
Sorry didn’t know
placid crescent
Sorry didn’t know
You’re good. I wouldn’t know if I didn’t have 2 of them
dapper vessel
So far it’s just dragging
placid crescent
Not close enough
placid crescent
What does hotter bed do? I've been running at 50.
If your bed is too cold you can get issues like warping, but most likely large prints will just not stay put
It’ll look like your bed isn’t leveled like halfway up a print
dapper vessel
So I have to level the bed higher
north lily
I’m printing right now I’ll google a pic hold on
placid crescent
I’m printing right now I’ll google a pic hold on
Come on. Stop using your printer for its intended purpose
north lily
Lol had to re read that twice I was like wait what I do now
sullen kettle
I was trying to get a pic of mine. It is almost touching.
north lily
dapper vessel
The knobs are getting tighter it should do that right
sullen kettle
put a piece of paper down. turn that corner up until it touches the paper. Then do all 4 corners a few times.
north lily
If they are getting tight it’s the wrong way
The tighter it gets the lower the bed goes you want to raise it
sullen kettle
yeah you have yours all the way down.
dapper vessel
I have to loosen the knobs to raise it
north lily
Yeah
sullen kettle
That is right. See how Yunior87, the springs are very loose.
north lily
Do one at a time with the paper thing that’s what I did when I first got started
This picture looks good
The bottom thing is the print bed
dapper vessel
north lily
This picture looks good
See the description on the first that’s what’s happening to you
placid crescent
You need to baby step it closer.
dapper vessel
placid crescent
Much better
I would try that. See how that goes.
Might be a bit far still, but much better
dapper vessel
Thanks you guys 👍
north lily
It worked ?
dapper vessel
Testing a bed test now
dapper vessel
Now that’s a leveled bed
amber trellis
bottom right need a bit closer
north lily
Yay
dapper vessel
Still thank you
north lily
I still think it’s a plastic film covering your magnetic bed lol
dapper vessel
Is this close enough?
placid crescent
Probably not. But print the bed level test
Actually definitely not. Closer still
dapper vessel
Hey man I got it working but I think something for this mask is there something wrong with it
placid crescent
Why do you think somethings wrong with it?
dapper vessel
When it was printing the filament for the supports flies off, maybe it’s how I have the mask placed
Did anyone print masks like robins because I need some advise
placid crescent
I would suggest you start with small things first, to learn how your printer works.
placid crescent
That has no supports.
dapper vessel
This has no support
