Problem with first layer

I have a problem with the first layer since I had to calibrate it. The first layer keeps coming loose. I have already tried:

-change print bed temperature up or down

-clean the print bed

-adjusting the calibration up or down

I would have to update the firmware. Would that be worth a try?

Actually, I never had any problems with the adhesion of the first layer and that's why I continue to use the same settings. Only the calibration is different now. So the problem should actually be here. But I have, as I said, already adjusted this and experimented with different heights.

I would be very happy about some support!

Best Answer by FoxRun3D:

-clean the print bed

Adhesion issues are 95% due to dirty sheet or bad live Z calibration. 

For the former, clean the sheet thoroughly with dish washing liquid and plenty of hot water, then use 95% IPA between prints. 

For the latter, try https://www.printables.com/model/105404 to get the perfect live Z. 

You didn't say whether you're seeing bad adhesion for all models or just for some. Models with little contact surface account for the other 5%. A thin layer of Layerneer or Magigoo can help.
