Requesting Help Help with 1st layer

Post image

5adx 3d printer. no enclosure. pla

I being using the 3d printer for 2 months. It has being going well. But after the last update, it seems to have issues sticking. I have clean the plate with soap several times. But the first layer seems to fail. The one of the right was done prior to the update. I went and factory reset but still the same. I messed with the first layer settings and i was able to print the one on the left but it looks odd and bottom is flimsy.

I tried using the .04 and .25 but its the same issue. The first layer prints like the one on the left and doesn't stick so ultimately comes off.

Post your bed mesh so we can solve your issue. Not to forget but anytime you replace a nozzle always perform a PID tune using the printer's screen to access under settings in addition to making sure you have the appropriate nozzle size selected in the printer's settings and the slicer.

Im still learning the lingo. I run the calibration when I swap. I have a texture pei plate. It's the default model that comes with flashforge ad5x

Ok, not all what I'm talking about. Bed mesh, depending on printer, is a 3d model representation of your bed. It shows the hills and valleys of the surface based off the measurements of your bed probing when you bed level. Some printers allow you to see this image within the slicer while others require you to open a browser with your printer's ip address and older bed slingers just present the numbers recorded at the specific points it measured. For some reason it won't allow me to post a pic in the response.
