I have just purchased my first 3D printer and cant seem to get started. I also purchased the official Creality glass bed with it. My problem is i cannot get the print to stick. I have levelled the bed correctly, i think.
I am trying to print the 3Dbenchy boat using the white sample PLA that came with the printer, but the problem is the first layer just will not stick properly. I have tried different settings in the slicer program including nozzle temp between 190-200. I have also tried the bed temp between 50-65.
I have tried slowing the first layer down to 15mm/s and also tried printing it with a 10mm brim. Even when printing the brim it doesnt stick properly and it moves out of line has soon has the nozzle puts it down.
I managed to print half the boat earlier but even then it wasnt stuck properly and it broke loose before it had finished.
I am close to giving up before i even get started, any help would be much appreciated.
