Just changed the nozzle now larger prints just dont stick?

After a long time of successful prints, I had to change the nozzle. I have recalibrated twice and have also tried reducing the Z axis, but larger prints are just not adhering to the textured plate, even with glue, which kind of leads me to believe it’s a bed level problem. Yet, looking at others, the bed seems pretty good. Any ideas?

The nozzle is a generic item supposedly Creality, but….. Could this be a reason?

Small centred prints are fine!

try increasing a little bit the bed temp.

Did you clean the buildplate properly? If it isn’t cleaned properly then glue will not help…

I normally use Isopropyl alcohol at 99.9% , is this a good way or there are a better one?

Depends on the type of buildplate… You can use dishwasher-soap and hot water :wink:

Textured plate, and I do wash with soap, never had this problem before, that’s why I was looking at the bed level.

I had an issue with this before today. So, it seems to me from my experience with a K1C 2024, the heater is not fully covering the build plate at times.

So, the hotbed works but the farther I get from the center, where I presume the heating core is located, the more likely I am to warp and with great disavantage.

I can use stick glue at times depending on the filament type but some filaments like PA6-GF does not quite stick near the outskirts of the build plate.

I, at first, thought this was a joke. “Okay, someone has a moderate range printer that will be replaced in three years and advancement will be left to die.” But since my first inception of the uneducated thought, I have grown to like these printers. The K1C 2024 prints PA and other “engineering” grade plastics pretty easily which is nice.

I saw the new ones they produced too.

I like the larger build plate but I am not sure about the heater cores on the build plates on these new printers. I would like it if my current build plate would not cause warping at the base but it is only four screws to see what type of heater is underneath the build plate. So, I can check it and assemble new parts in time if it is too big of an issue.

220 * 220 * 250 seems reasonable for size and shapes needed

But…larger is always a bigger and better way to go about things. I really purchased this printer due to its compact size and enclosed chamber with large footprint.

I use the epoxy resin build plate at times for engineering grade plastics with GF or CF. I also found a G10 with F4 build plate to test (it has not been tested yet).

I see a lot of incorporation of nozzles with different brands and Creality use cases. I got the ruby one to test GF. I saw the diamond one and if there was some sort of tool steel, I may get that one for long lasting printing…

The only thing I have not found that I would like is a 1.0mm nozzle for the K1C 2024. I made a printer a while back, a couple actually, that handled some 3rd Party hardware and Klipper. Anyway, the 1.0mm nozzle was around and I liked testing builds of size with this size nozzle. Okay! Hopefully, this has been helpful. If not, I am sorry to say…

  1. With the correct research, people will say this and that…
  2. Testing must ensue. Without testing, people saying this or that means nothing…
  3. I currently like the epoxy resin build plate for engineering grade plastics.

Enjoy
