First layer failing. Filament dangling?

If you’ve printed 2kg of filament w/o washing the plate, you are past due for washing it.

I posted this recommendation on maintaining the gold PEI plates

Gold textured PEI plate maintenance recommendations

7 months in, original plate, no physical damage, and adhesion is great. So here are my suggestions. Wait for the bed to cool below 30 deg C before removing objects. Removing with the plate hot stresses the coating as its SUPPOSED to have good adhesion when hot. Even BL mentions that the “instant release” is after the plate has cooled. Just removing it to let the metal cool down quicker is not enough, as the plastic will take more time to cool down. NEVER use the metal scraper they supply …
