Also wash the bed with dish soap and warm water.
Been wiping it down with alcohol, that's what I understood to do. Been doing bed leveling and calibrations and it keeps doing this.

Idk

That supposed to be a Trilobite?
Yes, an articulating one. I made a small one with the sample hyper-pla they send with the printer and it worked great. Wanted to scale it up and print with black PLA and all hell breaks loose and I can't get it to stick. I gave up and am moving on to other projects. :(

I was talking to my grandson about buying him a 3D printer and he said to me,
"Grandpa, if it doesn't Tig weld steel, why would we spend our money on it?"
I love that kid
He's right, and wrong at the same time. But I do like his attitude! There is enough plastic crap around that sometimes you just need to be able to fix or replace parts. Dish washer wheels, as an example I've printed.

and I'd kinda like to try 3D printing with a modified wire-feed welder... Probably need a copper table...
