  • You have a draft going through your room, I used to have same issue when my printer was beside a window. Less when I moved the printer to middle of the room and issue was gone when put the printer into a closet. With closed doors.

    You can try lowering bed temperature to, the warm bed keeps lower layer pliable but the upper layers cool and contract pulling the more flexible layer up and away. So a cooler bed temp should make the bottom layers more ridgid.









  • 120grit sand paper give it a scuff and rubing alcohol before each print. That solved almost all of my issues with bed adhesion and let me get away with it where normally it would fail. Anything else it’s probably out of level bed or actual frame of the machine has a bend or low spot. If your z offset was bad you would have that happening all over the the first layer. If you have a bl touch on your set up, make a grid amd write down each number if there is a difference in the corners it’s bed level If it’s middles / sides it’s a low spot in frame some materials tolerate out of level better then others.




  • Yeah i crashed it like 3 times already. Does that make me a seasoned veteran? Lucky me it cones with a cutout clutch that has saved , the work, machine and my pants.

    Right now It’s less so questions as more of I don’t know what I don’t know.

    Tool angles and geometry Is one, is carbide viable for one of these or should I be using high speed steel for boring?

    For speeds and feeds do you use the general rules as you would for turning or milling or something else?

    Work holding fixtures any recommendations on what is essential to have at the ready? Most used ?
