We've had an Ultimaker 2+ for a few months now, and generally haven't had any issues. I recently switched the material to Nylon and attempted a small print, and have had complete and utter failure to get any build plate adhesion. Here are the details.
Default Nylon settings in Cura. Running at 0.25mm nozzle diameter.
Swapped in the 0.25mm nozzle.
Verified the build platform is heating and leveled properly.
Attempted a glue stick layer with no success.
The nylon just won't stay on the platform. The print is a disaster within the first 10 seconds of the build. By all accounts, I've heard that the nylon is supposed to have good adhesion - what am I doing wrong? Any advice is appreciated!
Ultimaker Nylon is not sticking to the build plate at all. How can I fix this?
