Simplify 3D Advanced Series: Fine Tuning Filament Temperatures with processes. Troubleshooting 3d Prints Calibrate Extrusion Rate. Troubleshooting Blobbing and Stringing. Avoiding the dramas associated with PLA prints not sticking. Ah PLA prints not sticking. If there’s one issue with 3D printing that causes the most frustration, this is probably it! You spend all the time and trouble to create something stunning in CAD or scour download sites for the perfect model. Only to have it peel off the bed halfway through or fail to adhere on the first pass.
Either way it’s irritating and time consuming, not to mention the filament you’re using up! No doubt about it, if you can’t get that first layer down clean and stuck to the bed, you’re not going to get a print. Got a print that won’t work? The trick to getting a print to stick is first to choose the best method for the plastic you’re using.
PLA prints not sticking : a guide Now, I’m going to assume you have a heated bed on your printer. If not, you will be missing a key ingredient. PLA has a lower melting point than ABS so it’s probably a good idea to set up a separate profile for it in your slicing software. Bed Preparation One is the use of Kapton tape. Cleanup pointers.

Calibrate your 3D printer to print parts to fit by whitemousegary. ( Just in case the text formatting were jerked up, the article in PDF format is available at ) I have my Thing-O-Matic for a year now. From time to time, I tried to calibrate it to print parts to fit. Finally, I got it done (See Okay okay, let's see what our 3D printers should be offering first (if configured correctly). This article is intended for Skeinforge (SF) calibration, and I did my calibration with ABS plastics, Thing-O-Matic (0.4mm nozzle, firmware 4.1) and ReplicatorG+Skeinforge 50.
Before the calibration Temperature will affect the actual amount of the extruded plastics and, therefore, the realized line width. If you are using ReplicatorG, please disable its user interface "Use Print-O-Matic". Here is the list of necessary variables for this calibration to work, Before the calibration, you need to increase Carve/Extra Decimal Places (float) to 5. Calibrate line width Calibrate scale This is it. Part Fitting Calibration by MEH4d. Do your print-in-place bearings, joints, hinges..etc, stick together on you ? Do you have nuts/bolts, screw threads, pegs and holes or gears that were supposed to fit and they don'? T? Well, those days are over after you run through this calibration for part fitting! From my observation, the main issues of the printed part being off-sized or parts where they're supposed to be separated got stuck together are: Extrusion width and Flow rate are not precisely calibrated, causing actual extruded thread width to be wider than what the settings expected.
The Esteps/mm value is not properly calibrated. Z height is not properly adjusted, causing layers to get squeezed together by the nozzle. ...maybe more. There is a good guide from whitemousegary ( he uses Skeinforge to do the part fitting calibration. Please note that this method is through my own trial-and -error that works for me. Tasks: Run the Thin Wall calibration first to tune the extrusion. Bridge Torture Test by triffid_hunter. Calibration tower by peke.
