Adhesion and general bed problems-Max V3
Posted: Mon Mar 06, 2017 6:32 pm
Overall this printer has been pretty great. I seem to be having issues with what seems like a warped bed. One side will print so close it blocks the nozzle and causes the extruder to click. The other side will print fine at this level. If I increase the z then the low side is fine and the high side will not adhere at all and is essentially laying down a string.
The second issue is I cant seem to get a print to stick 8/10 times regardless. With a cold bed the pla will not stick at all anywhere on the bed, this is with and without the use of hairspray. With a bed at 55-60 and use of hairspray I can sometimes get the print to stick but that's still a gamble.
When it does stick the prints turn out generally really really well. I still have a tiny bit of tuning for them but can't really focus on that until I can get it sticking every time.
I've seen a few things on here about radius adjustments or something like that but nothing I have seen seemed to lead anywhere notable.
Also I've noticed if I adjust the z for printing on the cold bed then later print on a hot bed it is a huge difference and will always be around .03 too low when hot. Not sure if this is normal as I've never used a glass bed before.
