Not sticking to the build plate, something to be aware of. - The grim one - 08-08-2022 Hi all, got my Saturn 2 yesterday had had fun trying to set it up nothing would stick the the plate. After some fafing i re-leveld the plate and found that the left and right edges were fine but the middle was not sticking at all. I was going to take peeps advice and rough up the build surface, but befor i did this i had a look at the build plate, glad i did i put a straight edge against it and the plate was NOT flat in the slightest. i had 0.6mm dip in the middle of the plate. After a bit of linishing on a bit of glass with some 200 grit 2 hours later i had a flat slightly rougher build plate So if you are having touble have a quick look and make sure its not you but the plate. Happy printing folks. RE: Not sticking to the build plate, something to be aware of. - The grim one - 08-08-2022 Update So after trying the scuff it up method it still did not stick in the middle of the build plate. I have just completed my first succesfull print over the whole of the plate. This is after linishing it flat. everything very well stuck...if not a little bit too well, and that just perfect. Time to sit down relax and have a cuppa. |
