[Trouble with Ultimaker2 PLA that comes loose from the plate]

Thank you Yellowshark, The atomic test solved the problem !

Now it works fine again. Because of running all night without material the printerhead was dirty..

I am playing with filaflex now: very difficult but after a while it went more or less acceptable.

The same for PET..

Thanks for you reaction Yellowshark,

I use an Ultimaker2 without door. Ambient temperature is around 15°

All settings are the same as before, I even restored the factory settings to be sure.

I did not change any fan settings.

Now I cleaned the printbed with dry paper, that was already better but still the object moved.

The print bed temperature is 60°

I do not use any adhesive or spray or tape yet since it worked fin without wit PLA on the glass plate.

I calibrated the nozzle distance, that must be OK.

I am going to try the Atomic Method. It is very well possible that carbonised material is left because the day before the printer kept printing all night without material...

Thanks again. I will inform about the result.

Kind regards

Axel

Hi,

Could somebody give me a tip concerning PLA material that does not stick anymore on the heated printbed ?

I printed a lot of things this month, but since yesterday each time the material comes loose from the printbed after a few time.

I calibrated again, I returned also to the factory settings.

The troubles began when the PLA filament got trapped and the printer printed all night without material...

Is my printhead damaged by overheating ?

Thanks in advance !
