Nice video as always. All my printers are equipped with spring steel sheets. If I am printing with PLA on a smooth PEI surface, I just clean it first with IPA. When printing with PLA on a powder coated sheet, I use a glue stick. With PETG I use glue stick on a smooth PEI surface and just clean with IPA on a power coated surface.

@bryceelischer819 3 года назад

For my ender 3, a pei bed solved all my issues. It has the surface quality of glass with the flexibility of the original bed that comes with the printer so you can still flex your prints off the bed easily. Have not had a single bed adhesion issue since I made the switch. Plus it’s magnetic so you can ditch the clips, and in cura change the setting to an ender 3 pro and it will give you a slightly larger print surface now that the clips won’t be in the way 👍

@Der_Kleine_Mann Год назад

I always had problems with the first layer not sticking to the bed, until I found out that I leveled the nozzle to bed distance totally wrong the whole time. I always started leveling the nozzle to bed distance from the 0 position(home position), which basically gave me the set layer hight plus the thickness of the paper(~0.4mm)🤦‍♂️ I now do it like this: -Heat up nozzle and bed. -Set the Z-hight to 0.2mm! -Using a feeler gauge with 0.2mm to level the nozzle to bed distance with a tiny bit of friction on 5 points of the bed. Giving me a perfect first layer every single time.

@EsotericArctos 2 года назад

I am struggling with bed adhesion. I have a level bed, with BL Touch for auto-levelling, the Z-offset is set correct to get a reasonable "squish" in the first layer, glass bed cleaned with Isopropyl Alcohol. Tried bed temps from 45 to 60 (PLA) and even up to 90 with a PETG roll, still cant get the damn things to stick. Even tried glue stick. I even went as far as getting my digital caliper out and measuring the height of the first layer just to check it was even. Any ideas?

@bigboomer1013 Год назад

The most annoying thing with leveling is how the middle has too much of a gap while the rest is just fine. When you try to fix it, the middle would print properly, but everywhere else gets realy rough looking. Another one is how I do bed leveling tests and the squares look good, but the corner or edges of the squares are rough looking as the nozzle is too close in one spot, but just right a few centimeters away from that spot

You're my favorite "go-to" when I have problems printing with my Ender 3 v2. Since I've switched from PLA to PETG, I had adhesion problems on my glass bed, I did try the 3M blue tape but it didn't work, and the tape was a "PITA" to remove.

The Creality textured glass beds, at least the early ones that came with the CR-6 SE, would have their special coating come off with IPA. Using plain soap and water works well for them. The formulation in ones manufactured more recently may not be affected the same. BTW, many glass cleaners have some isopropyl alcohol (or a similar type of substance) as one of the ingredients.

I had problems with adhesion early on and once I leveled the bed it got better. Once I shimmed the middle of the bed with two pieces of paper (about 4"x3"") in the very center of the bed.

@paulfranklin3270 3 года назад

Cleaning the bed Question.... Recently I had a very small area of the bed contain an extremely thin layer of filament that really did not want to come clean from the bed. I tried water, saop and water, and alcohol with a heated bed. I had little luck and didn't want to scratch the bed with using the print knife/pallet (not sure what that thing is called of the top of my head). Anyway... What I ended up using was a dab of acetone. I had read about using acetone to dissolve PLA from clogged nozzles. So I gave it a whirl. It did an amazing job of cleaning the bed of excess filament. Assuming that you clean the acetone off after use, is there any reason I shouldn't use it to clean excess filament from the bed?

@AndrewAHayes 3 года назад

During the first lockdown, I ran out of IPA and not wanting to get scalped by purchasing some more I went on to some forums to look for alternatives, I found a post where a guy was using a product called Windex window cleaning liquid, well I live in the UK and this branded product is not available but I did have some window cleaning liquid that I use for my car so I used that on a Creality Ultrabase type bed and I found out that filament would not stick to it at all. I started off cleaning it with a handheld steam cleaner and found out the window cleaning product had soap in it which I took off without any problem, about a week or so later I was clearing up my garage and found a 2.5L container of IPA that had never been opened, the price label had the name of a local hardware store that closed down in 1991 so this IPA could be more than 30 years old but worked just fine

@TerryForeverYoung 3 года назад

Hi Andrew, Windex is basically Windolene.

@BeaverDunker Год назад

I have been having issues with stuff just not sticking in certain areas. I am BRAND NEW to printing so I am now assuming that I just need to wipe it down with some good old alcohol because I now assume the areas that aren't sticking are because my fingers have been all over that glass! I will try the Vodka in my freezer and see if that works! otherwise I'll step it up to some Ever Clear! Thanks again😆

@l0kaltpsykf4ll34 2 года назад

Dr.vax! , the other day my filament suddenly didnt wanna stick anymore to the buildplate but it just drags it around. i have leveled the bed and cleaned the bed but nothing helps . i have a Creality ender 5 pro with 210 degrees on the nozzle & 60 degrees on the bed. 100% fanspeed, i use a brim as a adhesion, and magnetic build plate,

@Cheeky_Goose 2 года назад

I don't have a BL Touch, just a stock Ender 3 setup and my stock bed was really warped right out the box, so I went over to a local hardware store and got a glass bed cut. It's perfectly flat, but my favorite material, PETG, can rip chunks of glass out if you don't use a gluestick. For whatever reason, PETG doesn't seem to stick very well to my gluestick. Pieces seem to get dragged off as the nozzle moves away after printing small shapes like the base of tree supports, so I really have to squash the filament into the glass for it to stick properly. I'm thinking it has something to do with the print temperature not being high enough (on a stock ender 3 with a bowden setup, you shouldn't go too high) and maybe my flowrate needs to be higher on just the first layer. Using a brim instead of a skirt seems to help a little bit. It might also be worth trying out a "permanent gluestick" as Chep suggests.

@MakeWithTech 2 года назад

Another thing to try is blue masking tape. It is tedious to apply but sticks well when used with a bed adhesive and will protect the glass. Also it is more expensive but dimafix or magigoo are much better than glue stick.

@graebeard6882 Год назад

I always have a problem remembering which way to turn the knobs, so I came up with this mantra "if it's loose, loosen the knob: if it's tight, tighten the knob". Let me clarify. If the filament is loose (ie not sticking), the gap is too large. In order to raise the bed, you have to loosen the spring. So "if filament is loose - loosen the knob".

Hiya Dr VAX! Love your channel! I have the opposite issue even cool the prints dont release. I need to use a razor blade to remove them. Do you have any suggestions/videos for this?

@MakeWithTech 3 года назад

I also use a razor blade when prints stick too well, but I put mine in a paint scraper. You can try two things to get prints to release more easily. Increase the distance of the nozzle to the bed -- but if you increase it too much your prints will not stick. Try using a print adhesive like MagiGoo which will have the print hold when the nozzle is farther away so it will release better.

@gitss7367 3 года назад

I get the best results setting my gap/leveling what you had as "too close". I print almost all in ABS with some PetG and Nylon. The PetG is set to a much looser level than the others.

@robertmartinu8803 3 года назад

Ack, ABS/ASA work better when there is enough pressure. Those warping prone plastics are a bit picky. PETG likes a bit more room, otherwise it decides whether it doesn't want to stick or not come off at all after printing - but likely not inbetween.

Then drag a circle "hole" over the the existing circle and group them. Then add any lettering you would like. TinkerCAD is really easy to use. Once you master TinkerCAD this should take you less than 5 minutes to model. Here is a TinkerCAD playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLxa9m2nC6N90rs0ziWs9x2HY9OjPL3pSk P.S.

@edcbabc 3 года назад

I guess it is worth considering that the thickness of whatever you set the nozzle gap with also counts. Typically people use a piece of paper. I used some 80gsm copier paper, and when measured with a micrometer, that was 0.13mm thick. I use a BLTouch, and the Z offset adjusted the standard way is -1.55mm. Ie it is saying that when the sensor triggers, the nozzle is 1.55mm above the bed. Except is isn't, it is 1.55mm above the bit of paper, so 1.68mm above the bed. Therefore, I guess I should really change the Z offset to -1.68mm. That way when my initial layer is set to 0.3mm, then it should be that and Cura should calculate flow correctly, at the moment is is calculating for a 0.3mm gap that is really 0.43mm.

@MakeWithTech 3 года назад

Your math is probably correct. But I generally find setting the z offset via experimentation world.

@edcbabc 3 года назад

@@MakeWithTech Yes, except that the slicer will be working under a misaprehension as to what gap really is, so will get the flow wrong. In my case, since the gap is about 40% too big, the flow will be quite a lot too low. There is a first layer flow factor, but maybe it is adding a fudge on a fudge.

I have both Glass and PEI. PEI does not work AT ALL on my ender 3 S1 pro. I can't get glue to stick to that crap lol (yes I keep it VERY clean) Glass on my ender 3 is amazing! Now my bambu P1S...PEI works amazing! Why this is....beyond me. I have leveled the ender 3 a million times with different methods and heights, different temps... gave up on it and moved to glass.... keep trying PEI every couple weeks cause I really want it to work. Results in peeling off and ruining another magnet pad.

I use glue stick. Lots of it.... Slow first 45min. Then ramp it up if possible. Monitor your prints.

Ender 3 leaves me a rats nest and doesn't stick at all. I put glass down with no joy. I have just ordered PEI plate that I hope will help. The bed has been leveled several times.

I tried alcohol and it didnt work then switched to a spray can of break cleaner…. Solved the problem

@robson668 3 года назад

If you need glue to make your prints stick you're doing it wrong. There are some scenarios where glue stick is advised, like when printing PETG on PEI in ex. For cleaning i use cheapest window cleaner i can find, i don't need alcohol for this.

You are absolutely correct. However many folks struggle with getting the bed leveled perfectly so using MagiGoo or a bed adhesive helps them out a bit.

Try qidi tech flex plate and you will throw the other beds out of the window...just joking a bit😊 Qidi tech plate works so well that it can be tough to get the print of the plate. I can just talk for PLA...but i have also read other people talking about qidi techs bed and they are also surprised how well it sticks....not just PLA. If you have magnetic sheet and have a printer bed that should suit for a qidi flex plate then go for it. This is not a complete bed just the plate...they just sell these for their own machines. It's not so expensive but it can be hard to get one depending what type of qidi machine flex plate you aiming for. Qidi x-max is not easy just now

DO NOT EVER CLEAN YOUR GLASS BED FROM CREALITY WITH ISOPROPYL!!! Based off experience and wrong advice from everyone, it removes a yellow coating that helps with bed adhesion. After cleaning with ISO on 12 print beds (BIG MISTAKE) all my prints started to fail and created a huge mess and broken printers. Now please don't tell people to clean glass bed with coating using ISO.

Interesting. I’ll look into this.

@dustinpoissant 2 года назад

ok you show "bad sticks", what if it litterally does not stick

@zilla3dlargeformat3dprinte85 3 года назад

Be a rebel and print on a cold bed using Zillagrip glue. Save power and better.

Ender 3 v2 glass SUCKS....

@MakeWithTech 2 года назад

Clean it well and then use magicgoo or dynamax as bed adhesive and it will work well.

@Savage1776_ 2 года назад

@@MakeWithTech I had 5 days of hell trying to get this. But I finally found a G-code from CHEP that would let me level the corners then I could hit the button and it would go to the next and so on. I got a good level finally and have been printing non-stop since. I have also did multiple upgrades since!! I then bought a second Ender 3v2 and the Anycubic Vyper which I love btw!! Thank you for all the help from your channel as I have learned so much these last few weeks and I'm just glad I didn't give up as this is now my new favorite hobby!!

@@Savage1776_ I'm going to give this a shot. I just bought two printers, a Biqu B1 and an Ender 3 V2. I have been going through hell trying to consistently get anything to stick to the freakin Enter 3 V2 bed. I know it has to do with proper leveling, but hell!!!! It seems like I am constantly turning the knobs to get it level. The Biqu B1, which I paid about $75.00 less for brand new, I have no problems with. Granted, the beds are not the same, the Biqu B1 bed is a magnetic spring steel. All I do is once the part cools a little, pop a corner and it releases. I clean it prior to every print with alcohol.
