Why do my prints always start bad?

Posted · Why do my prints always start bad?

I made two prints of the same thing as a test. I found another simple print that i added to my sd card and got my printer to do its thing. But when it prints it starts off good then will randomly get stuck or something and the whole print comes off the bed and sticks to the nozzle. I adjusted the leveling so many times. But it is still happening. Any ideas on what i could be doing wrong? I have a easy threed k1 mini and am just starting out. So there is a lot i am probably doing wrong.

    When a print comes loose it is most of time a wrong leveling. Also if you did the leveling already many times, it does not mean you did it correctly. I would try to level a bit closer that the first layer is squished into the bed a bit more. 

     

    Another reason could be that you need to clean your print bed or apply some glue stick to increase the adhesion. I don't know your printer and don't know if it uses a glass bed or something else, but that's the second reason why a print gets loose.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
