PLA not sticking to other PLA


Never had this problem before.
So the pink PLA was supposed to be the color of the nose and the ear, but it doesn’t stick to the blue PLA. Complete repulsion, far worse than PLA on PETG.

I though it could be an issue between the brands. But the White PLA is the same brand as the pink:
Soleiyn PLA (I believe is a sub brand from Creality). And printed very well just a week ago.

Blue is R3D Matte PLA, a good brand imho but it’s very old.
I could try drying it a bit I guess, I don’t know what else I could do.

Have you ever had this problem with the same material?
Printer is an H2C. Blue on the left, pink on the induciton hot end.

Soleyin. That’s your problem. A lot of it isn’t actually PLA strictly speaking (it might be CoPE), even though they never told us that. It’s fine if you print it by itself or with other Soleyin (at least most?), but a lot of colors (not all?) won’t mix with actual PLA.

Creality has never come clean about exactly what the issue is/was. It looks really nice when it works, but I am never buying the stuff again.

Yep, I won’t buy this c**p anymore. It doesn’t even stick to other colors of the same brand and material.
That’s crazy.
