Cannot successfully print anything
<t>We recently got the i3 MK3 but I am unable to print anything successfully. The filament either bundles up at the nozzle, no matter the height, or the part doesn't stick to the plate. I have tried the supplied glue, and I always clean the plate before use with alcohol wipes. I have tried different sized prints. I cannot seem to figure out how to fix it. Any solutions/suggestions?</t>
Re: Cannot successfully print anything
Most of the time I see this come down to either z height adjustment or bed cleaning. I would suggest you clean the bed with dish soap first and see if that works. If not, download a first layer calibration square (I use 75mmx75mm) and see how your z height looks. Here is a good place to read on z calibration. https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/prusa-i3-kit-building-calibrating-first-print-main-f6/life-adjust-z-my-way-t2981.html
Re: Cannot successfully print anything
Thanks for the suggestions, but they did not seem to be the solution. Someone mentioned to me that maybe something is wrong with the nozzle itself, is there a way to find out?
Re: Cannot successfully print anything
If filament is not coming down straight then something might be in the nozzle. Have you tried cold pulls ?
