Why this going wrong?

I am printing 6 similar pieces, but two case me problems. They don’t stick w bed plate anymore. I heat it on 85 degrees. Can be that problem?

not enough hot. Print take 5 hours.

Start by thoroughly cleaning the print-sheet.

Cheerio,

It may not solve the problem but 3DLAC spray works exceptionally well - sticky when hot, comes off easily after cooling. I found getting consistency with cleaning alone tricky - especially if the printsheet is used with multiple materials.

The light smudges on the build-sheet are filament residues, some filaments are more prone to these than others, they are probably related to the pigment; they can largely be ignored.  The dark ones are probably fingerprints and the oils in them do cause poor adhesion.  Look up threads about sheet-cleaning.

Cheerio,

That's a "polymerization accelerator" for polyurethane, completely different world than thermoplastic materials (talking entry-level 3D-printing - if you have a "wizard" in the shop that's different but then he should be able to fix the adhesion problem...)

Recommendation: Switch to a standard work flow: clean the sheet thoroughly (isopropyl alcohol aka "IPA"  would be considered "standard"). Either go for "clean surface" (in this case clean really thoroughly  after using the Cotol-240 stuff) or standard adhesive / release agent (just get the 3DLac or something that is proven, not a generic glue stick. Some brands do not work)

It's worth a remedial clean with dishwashing detergent (dawn/fairy) and very HOT water.  There are lots of threads here about the method.

Cheerio,
