Printing Issues

Hi there,

I have just got a brand new mini, im having an issue with the print detaching (will attach photo) Not much i can find to do with this. First few layers okay.

Thought it may have been my gcode but after using the build in files the same things happen. I have calibrated first layer may of times!

Any clues?

Kind Regards

Joe

Have you cleaned your build plate? Use warm water with dish soap (IIRC Dawn is recommended as preferred), then dry thoroughly. Don't touch the surface after that. Then try again. Occasionally between prints a quick wipe down with 90%+ IPA helps.

RE: Printing Issues

Are you getting a good, squishy first layer? I don't mean on this model specifically, but a first layer calibration - and not the built in one, something like Joan's 75mm square?

(apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs, btw - you mentioned that the Mini was new, so I wasn't sure if you were new to 3D printing, too).
