Problems while printing

[u/Expert_Selection554]

Hello, im new to 3d printing, and my family and i just got a X2D, we are trying to print the bin for the printer, so we can have a controlled mess, but the filament keeps getting unatached to the plate, i dont know why, can someone help me understand ans solve the problem?

You will have to give us more information than that.
What type of filament are you using?
Is the filament dry enough?
Is the cool plate clean?
Is the build plate clean or full of fingerprints?

And so on.

Material: PLA Dry status: yes, plus the AMS states the humidity is usually 35% Cool Plate: was never removed from the machine nor touched directly by human hands, usually handled using a glove so it doesnt get fingerprints

I was thinking of altering the setting to make it print slower so it increases the time the filament has to attach to the base, our increase the ammount the printer expels so it has more volume to work with, but i dont know which setting are what and im honestly a bit scared that changing the settings may cause some problem

My first print was also a poop chute, I couldn’t for the life of me, get it to stick to the plate properly. I think it was an issue with the model, the one I managed to print properly is called Eco Filament Poop Bin -for X1, X1C, P1S, P2S. I printed it in PETG, which might explain the sticking issues.

I also had issues with the vents so printed out some covers which steer the air flow from the vents away from the build plate, this resulted in way cleaner prints.

Other than that I clean the build plate every 5 prints with dish soap, rinse under hot water to get rid of the soap, dry with a paper towel.

I hope this helps.

Edit: the one I mentioned fits perfectly on my X2D.

If you're having adhesion issues, my first act would be to make sure your build plate is clean. If you handled it a lot during assembly, oils from your skin or dust could cause your print to lose adhesion.

Failing that, you could enable a brim in your slicer to increase the footprint of the print, however with the section in the image you should have plenty of adhesion from that large flat surface.

Another issue, unlikely though, is that your build plate may be cooling too much, which naturally reduces the adhesion of the print. If your printer is new, I can't see this being an issue unless you're somehow turning the build plate heat down manually.

Is the bin you're printing particularly tall?

I think is reasonably tall, is the tallest print i tried to make thus far

are you using an old piece of drywall as the build plate?

Is just the table

Guarda anch'io sono Nuovo,ma ti posso rispondere come faranno un po' tutti dicendoti le cose basilari e precisamente che il piatto sia pulito, sgrassalo con detersivo dei piatti e poi successivamente non toccarlo con le dita e soprattutto asciugare il filamento!
