I have a problem

[curtism13 1]

So, when we print something the plastic material does not stick to the glass. What do I do? Turn up the heat?

 

Kind Regards,

Max

I would first check the bed is leveled correctly,

 

you need to provide more info, what is your printer, nozzle size, temperatures, does it stick in some parts to the bed but not for the whole model ???

 

A picture could help a lot with diagnosis too

Hi Max,

 

you're searching for the stone of wisdom, as the main problems in 3D-printing are:

1. build plate adhesion while printing is insufficient
2. build plate adhesion after printing is to strong

Any advice strongly depends from the build plate material and the printing material.

Best point to begin with is using the print bed temparature and adhesion method labeled on your filament.

On glassbeds, use glue stick or adhesion sheets.

And: it's a stony way of trial and error.

spray a light dusting of this brand of hairspray on the glass - clean it off with windex when you're done....

@gr5 is a moderator here and put this video together.  It could be titled "Everything you wanted to know about Build Plate Adhesion (but we're afraid to ask)"  It is a tad on the long side but there is a lot of good information in it.
