A week ago I was printing things for my friends when suddenly my nozzle just fucking crashed out of nowhere into my pei bed and now it is ruined, I removed the pei bed, and installed my glass one that I had for several years, in the process of removing my magnetic sheet, my 3 solid petg spring replacers just MELTED.
I WAS OUT OF PETG, I ORDERED PETG, I DID ALL I CAN TO GET MY BED LEVELLED ENOUGH TO PRINT WITH ABL…
AND… IT… WOULD… NOT… STICK (Can you tell I’m angry right now?) AND! Whenever I restarted the print with different temperatures, glue, not glue ettc… It just maded a mess around my nozzle, I cleaned my bed too.
I am so done right now…
BTW THIS IS a troubleshooot request, I have no way to make my bed level right now…
Ask me for anything
Yep. I ended up giving mine away when I wasn’t able to get it to print consistently. That was the second 3d printer I gave away because they’re more trouble than they’re worth (at least the kits are).
I’m not sure if I’ll get another in the future. Maybe a pre-assembled Prusa.
That sucks, but I hold on to my ender 3 as:
1: It is my first 3d printer 2: I have it for over 2 yrs 3: It was a present 4: I really can’t afford a new one. Even at a 100buck 5: I LOVE tinkering 6: With some tinkering it works a bit so I can print the missing parts, tomorrow I will try to MacGyver something to at least make it print.
Best of luck! Hope it works out for you.
Yeah thanks!
I had an Anycubic with an issue in the motherboard and I just gave up on those cheap shitty printers. It’s been the same game for each I had. Ordered a X1C and so far it’s been great. I do expect that though for that price tag.
ship it to me!
For real… double check your first layer settings in your slicer.
Also check your e-steps and make sure your flow rate is actually hitting what the slicer is expecting. If its under extruding on the first layers you will have adhesion issues.
Hmm okay will try! Thank you! for not being the guy on reddit that criticized me for asking
Ahh yes, the best way to troubleshoot always starts with gatekeeping.

Yaaaaay!

You can buy silicone spacers on Amazon for about $6 and they’ll never melt. That’ll let ya level your bed, and it’ll stay level for a long time.
+1 for silicone spacers. I think I levelled this a year ago, and that was only because I took the bed off to do some work on it.
Once the Bl touch went on, and the initial set up was needed to set the z-offset.
