Hello i own the p1s like for 2 weeks now. The printer runs everyday. 2 days back i finished a 16 hour print. I wash the build plate with dish soap. But yesterday i wanted to print just small things but the first layer doesn’t want to connect to the line what should i do?
I recommend the following to always get perfect layer adhesion (for PLA prints but is baseline for other materials too). FYI I have 2 P1S’s I use regularly.
- Always run bed leveling for each print, it’s worth the extra time.
- Always clean the bed with Isopropyl alcohol after each print (removes any oils left on the surface). You can buy pre-soaked towels to use or do what I do and just squirt a little in the center of the bed and then wipe entire bed down with paper towel.
- Be VERY careful not to touch the plate on the printable surface when re-inserting into the printer.
- Ensure you have the correct plate chosen in the slicer as it won’t print correctly if you have smooth plate chosen but use a textured plate.
With those two things I get near perfect adhesion on almost every print (of normal size objects). Large flat objects you need brims or mouse ears on the corners and other things to deal with plastic shrinkage.
Im doing all this things but still happens
