Thank you for the short, no-nonsense informative video

[@VaderDadBuilds]

And thank you for watching!

It’s recommended to wash your bed with dish soap every now and then. I normally clean with isopropyl alcohol but occasionally start having adhesion issues. Wash with dish soap and water and off to the races again.

[@Nor-Tody]

Couldn’t agree more. I also want to add, keep an eye on your seams this could also be causing your warping issues.

How am I post to clean my print bed with soap I have glue on it when I put soap/water on it the glue reactivates

[@ocularcavity8412]

Thanks for the Useful Tip this might help with My ABS prints lifting slightly at the corners

[@VaderDadBuilds]

I'd be interested to know if it helps with your ABS prints. I have not printed ABS myself.

Printing with PLA I keep my bed temp at 60 and nozzle at 205 for first layer. I also lower the speed for the first layer to 30mm/s (I can print up to 150mm/s). After the first layer I increase my speed to 60 mm/s and keep nozzle temp at 205 and keep the bed temp at 60 for the remainder of the print. I do not use any adhesion just a clean bed.

i use aquanet hair spray for a glue. it is cheaper and works after cleaning with hot water and soap, then ipa. also with something like that adding a bigger brim or tabs works to help the sides not warp.

[@LOLVideosMT]

Thank you so much! Fixed the issue for me complitely, but it works too well...

[@user-ot4wp4mz6l]

Amazing video! It doesn't matter if your channel is small, you can still make great things!

[@VaderDadBuilds]

Thank you! I appreciate that. I just always try to make my next video better than my last.

[@JonoLaguna]

I was having the same issue with IPA someone recommended Acetone and now i use that. So far it has been working great. I like not having to use the glue stick. I put the acetone in a spray bottle give it a few squirts and wipe it down. I would avoid any heat source's.

[@WangleLine]

Thank you kindly for the concise info!!

[@VaderDadBuilds]

Thank you for watching!

Using a smooth PEI build plate helps. It can stick almost too good. The downside is that they are more sensitive to fatty fingerprints compared to textured plates.

[@neffk]

I've found that soap and water work better than ethanol. And avoid fingerprints. Not all fingers are a problem but mine are

[@VaderDadBuilds]

Yes, fingerprints are a big problem.

[@BatmanIII]

Had the same issue, same printer. Wash with soap and water. Bed temp is always 70 and i use brims on everything. Never had a problem since. After the print, if you allow the bed to cool completely (i turn on a fan) the print releases completely on its own, and you dont need to clean the bed to print again.

[@VaderDadBuilds]

Great advise!

[@AndrewAHayes]

When I bought my X1 Carbon I bought an additional pack from my vendor that included a tube of 3D LAC, it works just great but the pad wears down before even 10% of the liquid is used, they do have a spray version that I will buy when this one runs out though, once the pad is no longer functional I will cut the top off and transfer the liquid to an atomisor.

[@VaderDadBuilds]

Good to know. I haven't used 10% yet, but I was actually wondering if that pad would last.

[@german9277]

Hey boss so im having an issue maybe you can help with. I basically am having issues with the bed temp ive been keeping it at 50 and the nozzle temp at 220 with the z at -1.87. The issue is that some prints have been printing just fine but others wont get the first layer down right or if they do it starts getting like straight spaghetti. I think I’ve narrowed it down to bed temps but I have no idea. It printed very well once and then the next time i couldnt get the first layer down i started using elmers glue and that seems to help but then the first layer will be separated by gaps

[@VaderDadBuilds]

Is it PLA? Try 60 and 200. It also sounds like your first layer is too high. There is no right number to tell you for the z-level, you need to see where it's at. The filament needs to slightly smash down on the bed. Watch my video on bed leveling, and that should help you too.

[@german9277]

@@VaderDadBuilds sounds good boss i tried the auto leveling and i tried doing the paper method but it didnt work and yes it was pla sir. Ive also tried putting the Z nozzle while it’s printing higher and lower, but the only difference I can notice was that when I changed it its height up or down it would still get dragged in the corners

[@victorm7274]

Purple Elmer’s glue $1.79. Works great for ASA & ABS 3d printing glue stick $17. It’s a no brainer.

[@TechBrewGamer]

aquanet or a little watered down wood glue works also.

[@gregpruitt1647]

Looking at the print bed from the top-down, what does a good smush look like? The extrusion of material is so tiny, it is difficult to see without magnification?

[@VaderDadBuilds]

I plan on posting another video about getting the perfect 1st layer. I will be sure to get a good close up.

[@BatmanIII]

Also, all pla, pla plus, silk gold pla, 210 first layer, 205 after. Never a failed print

[@hmartinlb]

I've never needed glue stick on textured pei. My printer is enclosed though. That shouldn't matter as I take enclosure off for PLA, and prints still stick. Parts only come off after the plate cooled down. I use window cleaner to clean the surface. Works beautifully and is dirt cheap.

[@Beecher_Dikov]

After applying glue stick I use a scraper to spread the glue into a thin layer

[@VaderDadBuilds]

That's a great tip!

[@emdzej91_]

Pei + aceton 👌
