Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hi, so I tried to print this big Tesla sight and it don't want to stick to the bed.
I tried leveling (G29) and also the advanced calibration wizard website but it didn't help.
The machine is max V3 and I use glue on the top of the bed, gray PLA printing material.

Hi, my biggest recommendation would be to get an aluminum heat spreader, like this one:

and a PEI top surface:

But for now, you can try this:
* For PLA, I used to print it very well on top of blue painter’s tape.
* Glue stick or hair spray are good alternatives, make sure the last one has "Vinyl Neodecanoate Copolymers". It's the stuff that makes your prints stick.
* Bed at 60ºc
* Print the first layer very slow.
* Lower the nozzle a bit more.

Best of luck.

One thing you can do without messing with calibration would be increase the first layer height (with slicer) and decrease the nozzle height by G31 Z-0.05 (you can make it more negative with step of 0.05 as long as your nozzle don't touch the bed)

Another option is to change the "Z max length" though EEPROM.
In order to lower the nozzle, you increase this value (with a bigger z length the printer thinks it has more room to move down).
To raise the nozzle, you decrease it.
