Test Print
I’ve been trying to get my printer up and running, I haven’t had a successful print as of yet and was hoping someone would have some insight on my problem.
i have the original prusa i3 mk3s kit
assembly went fine, calibration went alright, but when I try to print the supplied test file from the sd (mk3s_PLA_Prusa_200..) I hit a problem at exactly 48% of the way through the print each time I attempt it (I tried slightly adjust the level with each print thinking maybe that was the issue, but no matter the level adjustment it can’t get past 48%). The left corner of the print begins to lift away from the bed and ends up detaching itself. Any common fix for this?

Hi, most of this kind of issue has the same causes : dirty bed or bad z offset. 1st clean the bed (in the sink like a plate) then check Z offset (probably too hight).
MK3S & Fusion 360

Thanks! I’ll be giving that a try. I’m currently trying to hunt down some IPA for cleaning. Every single store in my town is out of it but I got a lead on a shipment of it coming in at the end of the week, so hopefully that pans out :p

Try Dish Soap and water while you wait, use a bed temp of 70C for PLA
