3D Printer Bed Adhesion

 

First step printhead adjustment

The first and most simple is to make sure that the print head adjusted properly, a piece of copy paper is a good gauge. Some printers will come with a sheet of paper to adjust the print head. My Anycubic Mega S came with a gauge to properly adjust the print head. To check the distance for the print head to the build plate start in the center then check each corner of the build plate the paper should slide under with a little of tension. After you can run a small print to test your results from the print head adjustment.

Second step a raft

You can add a raft to the print job, this may help. The raft will give you more material for you print job to adhere to the build surface.

Third build surface

There are different types of build surfaces the two I will touch on are glass and textured flex surface. Glass is durable but can have adhesion issues in my experience I have had better luck with flex surface which when heated gain more adhesion.

Last glue

The you can use glue to help you print jobs sick to your build surface. The large Elmer’s school glue that is purple has worked best for me. I have tried hair spray with little luck but my work better for you.

Side note

Make sure your build surface is clean and have fun and enjoy the process.
