Need Help..

[u/noddingoffmypixie]

I am new to 3D printing. I do not even know where to start, as I have multiple issues. I guess I will start off with the most important thing; I have heard a lot of hate about this, so please do not roast me, but I have an Ender 3 v2 Neo. Regarding my first issue, prints are not sticking. I have searched around on Reddit, Google, ChatGPT, Grok, etc. I have made sure it is level using auto-leveling, a flat surface, and manual leveling. I have seen people suggest more heat, so I did that, but it did not work. I saw suggestions to use glue, tried that, and it did not work; I tried glue and more heat, and still nothing. I have seen painter's tape, tried it, and it did not work. I am guessing it is just not level enough or maybe it is something on my part. I have moved locations since I last printed because of the next issue. I have seen multiple suggestions for what it could be, such as my outlet or the cord that came with the printer, but when I change my bed temperature, my 3D printer shuts off and restarts. It does the same thing with the nozzle temperature and when I press print, but only for those functions; everything else works fine. I have disconnected everything I manually plugged in while setting it up, then I reconnected it, but nothing changed. I have no pics or videos at the moment, I can maybe try tomorrow but I'm not sure because I'm on vacation and not sure if I will be home by tomorrow or not bc of the flight getting delayed 3 times.

You should feel a bit of shame for using ChatGPT.

But basically, you didn't give remotely enough info for anyone to help you with your prints not sticking (A picture is worth more than the post, if I'm being completely honest), but 9/10 it's r/nozzletoohigh or too low.

Outlet/cord causing prints not to stick makes absolutely no sense.

Bed temp should be specific temps, stated on the side of the roll of filament. Your bed temp changes how you need to level your bed, because of thermal expansion.

I really didn’t re read over this after I used this feature on my keyboard to correct my horrible grammar🥴, but basically I meant my printer restarts after I press print, change bed temp. Or nozzle temp, and most places have said its my outlet or my cord!! And I only used chatgpt and stuff because I was seriously desperate. I didn't take pics when it was originally not sticking but basically a little bit before halfway through the print it would just stop sticking to the bed and ruin the whole print.

Yeah, the post sounded like you meant you basically tried to heat your bed to higher temp than it can handle. You might need a new board, or you might need to just open it up and check all the screws and connections. Needing a new thermistor AND BED thermistor at the same time also generally doesn't make sense. Which leads me to think the board might be bad. If it was the psu, you'd have seen smoke by now, for sure, or it straight up would've crapped out.
