First Layer Calibration Failed
After months of not using, I've tried to print where it already failed on the first layer. So I've started the first layer calibration but I can't make it work and have no Idea what else to try:
In the calibration, first some long lines are printed, they work (more or less) well. But the second, smaller part with the square never holds on the bed, and I only have a "clump" of PLA on the extruder/nozzle. I then tried to move the nozzle further down until I was so far down that the filament no longer came out of the nozzle and became clogged.What could be the reason for this? What should I try to do?
RE: First Layer Calibration Failed
Did u check temperature?
maybe is too low
The three common reasons for prints suddenly failing after a printer has been unused for a while:
A dirty print bed. Give it a really thorough clean and avoid touching the print area.
Damp filament. Look up threads here about drying filament especially if it has been left open.
General neglect, dust and cobwebs... Basic cleaning, lubrication and general maintenance have all been missed.
