METHOD: My Prints Are Not Sticking to the Build Plate

If you are noticing consistent adhesion issues with your prints, then it is likely that you need to calibrate your extruders.

Calibration will help ensure that the nozzles of your extruders are accurately perceiving the location of the build plate.

If your extruders are accurately calibrated, then there may be something else impacting your prints’ adhesion.

1. Make sure that you are cleaning your build plate regularly of any debris including any glue debris that may have been used for materials that necessitate it. You can use 60% isopropyl alcohol to clean your build plate before starting your next print. 
2. Check your grip surface to see if there are any air bubbles present on the surface. If there are, you may need to smooth them out or change the grip surface completely. Click here for a step-by-step guide on how to inspect for air bubbles and change the grips surface if needed.
