PLA no longer sticking
I have had my Prusa Mini for several years and have had no issues with PLA sticking on my smooth print sheet that came with the printer.
I wanted to print TPU and didn't know that it sticks too good to smooth print sheets and that I should use a textured sheet. And yes, I damaged one side of the sheet.
Since then I purchased and original Prusa mini texture PEI sheet,
- set a new texture sheet profile and recalibrated the first layer with PLA
- It did require setting the nozzle to -2.0mm which is the max.
- The PLA stuck on the calibration, but did not stick when I attempted to print an actual part.
- I used IPA to clean the sheet and also used dish soap per the Prusa knowledge base.
Still not sticking on the textures sheet with PLA during a print
Looking on line it looks like printing PLA on texture sheets is difficult so I switched back to my smooth sheet - flipped over to the non-damaged side.
- Yes, I also made sure to switch back to the smooth sheet profile.
- PLA has been stored in a dry box at below 20% humidity.
And now the PLA is not sticking to that.
I have no idea what is going on.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
