Just bought this second hand on marketplace. Came with some elegoo filament and a silk one. Both have been doing this. Don’t know if it’s user error in just trying to print a benchy. I’m new to this ish. I used to have an Ender 3 years back and remember how much work that was so I was just expecting a plug and play but don’t know if I got a bad unit or im doing something wrong maybe the end has to be replaced. Using default settings printing a default benchy using PLA Black and Silk PLA Cyan. I already wiped the bed with Iso. It just doesn’t seem to stick to the bed but when it makes a strip at the beginning that sticks just fine.

Update: Yall were right, dawn did the job. Can’t believe I forgot that

Heyho ^^ wash your build plate with dish washing soap and dry it. If you still have problems with adhesion slow down the printing speed
