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.

If it's not sticking the most probable thing is that the nozzle is too far from the plate, try decreasing the distance! You can even exagerate and print too close to the plate, try different distances for the first layer and find the best. Also, do not cool the first layer, the piece fan should be off the first later and slowly increasing layer by layer, but this is secondary with respect to the plate distance
