My pla won't stick to the print bed, it is all hot and correct there. I have levelled it with a paper thickness, tried original pla it came with and one I got on ebay, still no good

    Hi Dan,

     

    the two big issues in 3D-printing are:

    1. the prints don't stick to the bed (while printing)
    2. the prints stick too good to the bed (after printing)

    For first tips you should regard to the following post:

    What kind of printer / print bed do you have?

    Using a heated glass bed, you should regard it's free of grease (finger prints) and as clean as possible; a thin layer of glue or an adhesive sheet of some kind also can help.

    For me, PLA just prints fine on clean bare glass, heated to 60°C.

     

    Regards
