I recently had two print failures on my Ender 3 Neo. In both, it looked like the part came free from the heated build plate after about an hour or so of printing. Both had good starts in the first 15 minutes or so. I had a successful print finish two days ago.
It has been hot and humid here today, and my printer is in a non-AC shed not connected to the house.
I’m wondering if I should wait to kick off the next print until this evening when it should be cooler. Do I need to clean the build plate? I’ve not done that at all, other than make sure these isn’t any filament left on the plate when it finishes.
UPDATE: It’s apparent the problem isn’t the heat, but the fact that I haven’t cleaned the build plate since… well, ever. Adjusting the title to reflect that.
I’m printing PLA+ at 200C nozzle, 60C bed temp. It’s been fine so far with a few failures I’ve filed under “User Error”.
OK, now I’m curious how I change the bed temp settings after the first layer – something in the slicer? I’m using Ultimaker Cura, and have just recently been digging into the advanced settings.
Yeah you can change the settings in cura. I believe it’s under the materials section after you injure the setting
