I increased my bed temp to 65 degrees and the print still failed on my CRM4. The print got slid over to one side leaving a rat’s nest of PLA. I applied glue from a glue stick but that did not help. Any suggestions?
It’s kind of hard to comment on an adhesion problem with no idea what it is you are trying to print.
Have you tried a skirt, a brim or a raft?
I used a raft but the printing nozzle slid the model to the side. I am going to attempt using Blue Painters Tape
Forget rafts try a wide brim. What kind of bed
does the printer have?
Would a brim be better than a raft? It has a very smooth PEI sheet for printing on.
A brim uses less material and leaves a better finish on the bottom. I have a smooth PEI sheet and it says right on the sheet to use glue. Glue and a brim works for me. For a small part brim 5 rows is good but if it is larger or very long in one direction you may need 15 or 20 rows wide on the brim and maybe add mouse ears on the corners. The glue is the cheap dollar store water soluble “safety glue” that children use for crafts, very cheap.
The best surface for holding prints is the old fashion Glass and Glue but newer printer are going away from it for PEI type surfaces..
On the CRM4 I cannot choose the width of the brim. It is preset. Are you using a CRM4?
Brim width should be adjustable in the slicer.
Creality slicer doesn’t allow the brim width to be adjusted. I downloaded prusa slicer and it does. I sliced the file with brim and attempted to print but the print failed. Turned into a mass of tangled filament.
Creality “slicer” or Creality Print. They be different animals.
The older C slicer was based on Cura. The newer C Print is based on Orca, Bambu studio, Prussa Slicer ETC. Creality Print is a good program where Creality Slicer was basically an old version of Cura and was clearly lacking in many aspects..
