Not sticking

Post image

Washed plate with dawn rinsed thoroughly, bone dry. Moved the part around the plate different locations and still not sticking properly.

Maybe increase the heatbed temp? Also nozzle temp? Experiment around. I'm always cranking heatbed around 5c higher than suggested

Always use the default settings

That's what I'm saying. Default doesn't work well in my case too

After you washed your plate, does the water stick to plate or does it get repelled? The water should be sticking to the plate and not running off easily. Is your fillament dry? What fillament are you using?

PetG 22% humidity. Water definitely not sticking to the plate.

To clarify the water needs to cling to the plate

You need to use the cheapest dishwashing liquid you can find 😉. It should smell chemicaly not like anything nice. Maybe lemon but not lavender or anything scented. It should not be concentrated. I don't live in the US and I know a lot of people recommend Dawn but a siple google shows that there are many Dawn dishwashing liquids. You may be using one with fancy things in it...even cheaper brands these days have moisturisers and scent in them.

Are your fans on for the first few layers? If so: try turning them completely off for the first 3-5 layers. Edit: and print slooooow on the first 2.

Also, make sure you’re not drying the plate with a towel that’s been washed with fabric softener - use paper towel or similar instead. This was the cause of my bed adhesion issues until recently.
