clean the surface with a high % IPA and print at a temp around 45-50 deg for pla.
Thanks. I have already cleaned it with high percent IPA, but wouldn’t a lower temperature make the bed adhesion worse? As I understand it, ABS is more susceptible to warping. And that requires a higher temperature. If I am facing warping issues at 70°, then shouldn’t I, if anything

Alain,
I appreciate your response, but I really want to still use my ultrabase. I spent a decent amount of money on it, and it seems like as flag ship as it is, something went wrong. The main purpose of this forum is so that I can assure that it isn’t user error, and maybe get another one. This heated bed seems to have a really good reputation.

Here is the Ultrabase. It is relatively new. I’ve looked everywhere and there are no recommendations to clean the surface. It is ment for all types of materials. There is a thin layer of something at the top of the surface that is activated when the surface is heated up. It recommends a temp of 50 - 70 degrees. This is why I have not tried printing with it cold.

I recently bought the Anycubic Ultrabase for my Anet A8 3d printer. I have heard great things about it, so I figured that it is worth the money. The outcome was very disappointing. I print with PLA. At a 200-degree nozzle temp and a 60-degree bed temp, the outcome was horrific. Items would come off easily mid print, and if they didn't, they would warp. So, I increased the bed temp to 70, though t

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade my Anet A8 to the firmware that I need so that I can use auto bed leveling with this sensor. I have already flashed Skynet, but I REALLY don't like it. The controls are really tricky and it is just not easy and the temperature is not well controlled. That is why I want to flash the anet a8-l firmware via arduino. When I download the anet a8-l firmware, it is in .hex

Yes you can add this between the mains voltage power input to the power supply and a 3 pin "kettle" lead. Or why not buy a plug in RCD/GFI device, plug your printer into it, and use its test and reset buttons as the switch. Then you are also protected from a mains leak in your psu etc...
Sorry. Newbie question. Don't really know much about this stuff but what do I use to connect th

Thank you so much. Printer works flawlessly. Paranoid over nothing.

I have an Anet a8 that has worked really well for me and I want to install a switch like this one. . I just don't know how to do it. I have looked everywhere and I cant find an easy to understand wiring diagram. I have wired things like this in the past, but I'm just afraid to really do anything just incase. All I want is to wire a switch that I can use to turn on and off my printer with without

Hello, I recently ordered the Anet a8 from Amazon. I know I could have gotten it cheaper, but this seller had great reviews and the service is worth it. I have one problem. I have heard many complaints about the anet a8 heating up too much and melting and/or catching on fire. I'm going to install a MOSFET for my heated bed to reduce the risk, but I am still worried. I've also heard that the risk
