#HobbyStreak day 1343:

Another critical failure on my #Elegoo #CC2 printer, this time on the 0.4 nozzle. This printer is turning out to be a bit shit - adhesion is extremely nonexistent, no matter how clean I keep the build plate.

Looked into it, and turns out adhesion indeed is bad for some other users. However, either I'm the only one who suffers hotend destruction or I'm the only one brave enough to admit.

Will try hair spray and 50% speed when I install the next hotend. #3DPrinting

@erikcats This sort of thing is a large part of why I haven't bothered getting into 3D printing tbh. 😅

@virtualwolf let my experiences serve as a parable for you.

@erikcats what material are you printing with?

@erikcats odd that it doesn't stick then. Oh well hairspray is a classic

@ObtuseRecluse it's a recurring problem with new Elegoo centauri Carbon 2 pei plates apparently 🤷‍♂️

@erikcats I forgot thr vernacular, but there is a setting in rhe slicer to do a firsr layer (or layers) where the nozzle is squishing the filament onto the plate.

It was really helpful when I did 3d printing.
It makes the print that much longer, but rarelly missed a print after that.

I guess you might already enable that and still get spagetti.

I'm just thinking hairspray is not the healthiest, and a bit of a hazard.

@mxfraud raft?

@erikcats yes.
Mine had little issues with aderence, so it was ok with a brim only.

The main thing was setting in the slicer that made it extrude more like 120% or something.

@erikcats I use a glue stick on my build plate for everything (PLA, PETG, ABS) and it works fine.

@erikcats oh dang… lots of failures early on.
