Prints not sticking to bed Curling around nozzel
March 02, 2016 11:48PM
I have been having some trouble with my mini kossel and prints sticking to my print bed. I am using an IR sensor and PEI painted black. I have printed before and got great adheasion to the PEI. However now after changing some things to correct for effector tilt to get a better level bed my prints do not stick to the bed at all the extruder plastic just curls up around the nozzel.

Is this a bed level problem? (My nozzel is not squishing the plastic enough?

Or is this some other issue that i am missing because cannot seem to get a good stick to me PEI anymore...i am considering going back to hairspray and glass which is a little messy

any ideas?

Try adjusting Z height on the printer (or Z offset if your slicer has it) to squish a bit more perhaps?

your Z height is incorrect... lower the nozzle till the tip touches the bed... then raise it .1mm you should be good after that pending your bed is flat
