PLA matte layer adhesion

This worked for me:
I had same issues with PLA matte black not sticking to PEI textured plate together with some stringing and nozzle clumping / failed print as a result. Especially where walls were printed first and alone as single lines. Infill worked better but still failed sometimes at random places.

I just now tried the following which made it much better:

  • Nozzle temp to 230 (from default 220)
  • Bed temp first to 65 then 70 (default 55)
  • Halved speed for initial layer + initial layer infill (50/105 → 25/50)

Now the first layer actually finished. It’s not 100% perfect, but I would recommend anyone with this problem to try it out.
