Issue printing items

[jreyes]

I been trying to get some good items printing out but having issue. I don't know where to start. I don't wanna go back and do adjustment and mess it up more. Any tips or something I can try.

More information is needed such as what host software are you using, what filament (ABS or PLA), temperatures of Hotend and Heatbed.
Are you printing directly to the glass or do you have tape or adhesive on the glass first?

Host software using is the MatterControl
ABS
Hotend 228
Heatbed 80
Using glue stick first but didn’t work dry up fast. Using hair spray on the glass first.
Room temp is around 60-70

Just so you know the glue stick glue is supposed to dry up on the bed before it is used. So "Dry up fast" is ok.

I'll let others diagnose your print problems. But it looks to me like it stops extruding at times. If you really tried the stick after it dried and the print did not stick then either you did not put enough on or you have the hot end zero position set too high off the bed when it really should be exactly at the bed. Since hair spray works then the zero height is probably ok and you just did not put enough glue on the bed.

How for from the hot end need to be close to the bed?

The zero position should be 0 mm if you want the first layer to be the thickness you specified in the slicer. Otherwise if is too far away then the first layer may not stick. It is bad to get it less than 0 because then the hot end may bang into the bed. Read the general tips and tricks section of this forum for more information.
