Hi. I have a ender 3 and I recently bought New .4 mm Nozzle's and a New Tempered glass Bed and I used 4 Binder clips to hold the bed down. I have stabilized the bed so much But, The filament still won't stick to the Bed, these are the specifition's

  • Nozzle:200F
  • Bed:60F

    This would probably be answered better on a Creality site.

     

    @gr5 is one of the moderators here and made a video that I call "Everything you wanted to know about bed adhesion".  Make some popcorn and have a view.  The VIDEO IS HERE.

     

    I print on the same glass bed as yours and I print on the textured side.  Give it a good bath with soap and water.  Place it on the printer and then wipe it down well with 90% Isopropyl Alcohol.  I print PLA at 50° bed temp but 60° is fine.  With a freshly cleaned plate I don't need anything to aid bed adhesion with PLA.  On the other hand, PETG always requires help and I'm a fan of hairspray.  When using hairspray with PLA allow the glass to cool before trying to remove the print.

    There are certain models that will require elephant ears.  Cura has a plugin for "Anti-warping Tabs" that can be sized and moved around to keep prints from warping by providing additional surface area.

     

    This is a crutch but you can try it:

    As soon as you start a test print - go to the Tune menu on the LCD and jump the flow up to 115%.  That extra plastic should help to get squish even if you have too large of a Z gap on the first layer.

    As the print goes down you can tune it back towards 100%.  When it looks like it's working well then you know what your Initial Layer Flow should be set to in Cura. 

     

    Gr5's video will help you get rid of the crutch.

    The STL is a clip that snaps onto the bottom roller screw under the X motor.  It trips the Z switch.  If you use it then you don't have to move the Z switch and it's easy to go back and forth between the glass and the stock surface.  It might need a little filing so the tabs don't break.

    You should bring the nozzle closer to the bed i print a test file and adjust it whilst printing when the fillment do not stick nozzle is too far when fillment is narrow and small amount nozzle is too close

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
