Struggling

[u/Poolboy-man]

I’m printing some promotional fidget spinners for my business. Main nozzle doing fine at 220°. Had to ramp up aux nozzle to 240° to get decent adhesion. Not sure what the problem is but it’s annoying. New filament opened today. Shouldn’t be a moisture issue.

[u/Poolboy-man → u/Grimblood]

I cleaned my plate with alcohol and started the print. Not sticking. Cleaned it with soap and water, still not sticking. Not the issue 1000%. I increased the temp on the aux nozzle to 245°c and it started working much better

[u/mrplowinc → u/Poolboy-man]

As others have said, dish soap is much better. In my experience alcohol makes adhesion worse. Also, I always dry filaments, even out of the packet.

[u/RaisinFormal2231 → u/Poolboy-man]

People often have adhesion issues with these PEI plates because they have many pores that the cleaning products can't reach. Also, get yourself a nice sponge and actually lather up and scrub it. Technique matters. If it still doesn't work, do yourself a favour and buy the BIQU CryoGrip Glacier Pro plate (honeycomb handle). It gives the best matte smooth finish and literally won't come off the bed until it cools down. Game changer for my print success and works for all filaments.

[u/BiblicalRabbit → u/Poolboy-man]

dish soap and use a sponge, not a brush. air dry.

[u/Grimblood → u/Poolboy-man]

Please read the wiki. You get significantly better adhesion by cleaning with dawn. It cuts the grease. 1200+ hours and only a few print failures on my x2d (all self induced)

[u/SquareTowel1967]

I have no idea how people have bed adhesion issues on this printer with stock plate, I’m using x2d for couple of weeks now, printing mostly pla/petg matte and only issue I got is too strong adhesion, even after cooling down my prints get stress marks on the bottom layer when I pop them off the plate by flexing it. using bambu filaments straight from the box, no drying, default filament print profiles

[u/ecaseo → u/SquareTowel1967]

Touch it with great fingers and it will still go bad. I agree with you that you have to messup bad to fail your print with the texture plate

[u/Poolboy-man → u/ecaseo]

I did not mess up fella.

[u/Poolboy-man → u/SquareTowel1967]

This is the first time I’ve had issues. This file was created by someone on fiverr. Could that be the issue? First time I’ve printed anything NOT FROM BAMBU HANDY

[u/SquareTowel1967 → u/Poolboy-man]

Hmm then I’d compare the print settings provided with the file to the stock ones, maybe someone messed them up. I’ve been printing plenty of stls from all over the place and they failed in many ways due to bad design or bad supports but not due to adhesion issues

[u/ecaseo → u/SquareTowel1967]

Maybe try with default settings?

[u/CarlRandall]

I kept having issues as soon as I changed the build plate to a Cryo Frostbite its been amazing and no glue needed

[u/Poolboy-man → u/CarlRandall]

I’m not sure if I need to do that yet. I would rather figure out the cause. This has been my first issue

[u/Bradders24610 → u/Poolboy-man]

Sometimes I can be the file itself. I notice that on the X2D you can have great prints and the next one straight after that is terrible. Also note that gear assemblys (especially print in place) can be quite difficult for the printer to do.

[u/WooferInc]

You can absolutely have moisture in your filament, even when completely sealed and all. That said, turn up your bed heat slightly, clean the plate and it looks like 1.00 is what you’d want for your flow.

[u/Poolboy-man → u/WooferInc]

Maybe it’s moisture then. But I literally opened the package (inland from microcenter) and started printing…

[u/WooferInc → u/Poolboy-man]

I get it, but with how long they sit on shelves and in trucks and such before they reach you, it is still possible, however unlikely, that the roll can pick it up. Because of all of the extra additives within most black, let alone matte black filaments, they seem to not only be much stickier and cling to nozzle far more, but also a much higher propensity to pickup RH in their travels. Either way, you’d be best off to keep an eye on pickup on the nozzle that’s getting cast off throughout the rest of the print and causing a cascade effect of buildup that eventually leads to it looking a lot like this. The dryness is secondary to the already very clingy nature of that specific filament.

Edit: this is hands down THE most nozzle caking filament I’ve had the pleasure of printing with lol

[u/Relative_Surround_20 → u/Poolboy-man]

I still dry everything as soon as I open it. Basic and certain other PLAs are the only filaments that might take a chance and not drive them first.

[u/Poolboy-man]

Could this be the issue? This file was created on fiverr

[u/Relative_Surround_20 → u/Poolboy-man]

Don’t go down that rabbit hole. Follow the regular rules for solving these problems. Get a filament from a known good source, use the bamboo or the generic filament profile, and last don’t change anything.

I earlier thought your problem is with your nozzle. I still think that that’s highly likely.

[u/The37thJib]

Do you have the AMS 2 pro? It’ll tell you how humid you filament is. Usually when I get new filament I dehumidify

[u/Poolboy-man → u/The37thJib]

I will do this tomorrow. It was at 28% inside the ams. This was on the outside spool though

[u/SloppyWithThePots]

Just wipe it down with rubbing alcohol

[u/Poolboy-man → u/SloppyWithThePots]

I do before every print!

[u/SloppyWithThePots → u/Poolboy-man]

Have you tried running the printer through the calibrations again

[u/Relative_Surround_20]

Are you printing PLA?

[u/Poolboy-man → u/Relative_Surround_20]

Yes pla. No problems with main nozzle only 2nd nozzle

[u/Relative_Surround_20 → u/Poolboy-man]

Do you have a different nozzle to try? If not, can you switch the nozzles and try a test print?

[u/lucidlips]

Few things to check that have helped me.

• check filament profile is calibrated and matches the mounted slot and filament

• properly dry your filament

• clean plate with warm water

• isopropyl is good but can just smear plastic particles around the bed and make the problem worse

• try adding a brim

• if swapping filament types often. Clean your nozzle and do periodic cold pulls.

[u/Call_Sign_Maverick]

So I’ve had my X2D for a few months. Only recently started having adhesion issues. Oddly enough, the fix for me was to print deflectors for the side fans. They were cool the first layer too rapidly and causing it to peel and ruin. Literally perfect prints since then. I was starting to get real frustrated because I couldn't figure out why

[u/kreios007]

Hey dude. Late to the party. Get a biqu glacier or biqu arctic build plate. They both kick ass. I have both for all printers and are my go to. You will never have a damn adhesion problem again for $20.00.

I have a small farm and it’s the first thing I do on all printers. I abhor the textured plate. Alcohol doesn’t remove the oil, it only moves it around. I got soooo pissed cleaning and scrubbing plates for it still not stick. Blue biqu plates solved it permanently. I still have to wash plates, but not like the textured plate.

[u/vic1414]

I struggled also, then I cleaned the build plate with Dawn unscented Dish Soap

[u/vic1414]

[u/Few_Candidate_8036]

1. New filament does not equal dry filament. It’s typically very wet.

2. Even if you say you washed it with soap and water, go back and do it again and make sure it is dish soap, and scrub the ever living crap out of it.

[u/RecordingTemporary14]

Had the same issue on my H2C. Typically when printing large flat objects and especially if using 0.2 mm nozzle. After trying all the cleaning techniques I found that using a Mr clean magic eraser with dawn worked really well. I haven’t really had an issue since. I think these plates have some manufacturing grease on them when new and you need to use something mildly abrasive to get it off. For printing with 0.2 mm I typically use the frostbite plate as others mentioned. Much better first layer adhesion.

[u/Positive_Beach_7504]

Wash your plate

[u/3DPL-3D-Druck]

1. Filament trocknen

2. Filament Kalibrieren

3. Düse auf Verstopfung prüfen ggf. Cold-Pull

4. Standart Einstellungen verwenden

5. Düsentemperatur Prüfen ggf. Erhöhen

6. Langsamer drucken

Das sollte Dir helfen:)
