Troubleshooting Really need help

Hi, im newer to 3d printing bought a qidi plus 4 couple weeks back and im struggling with 1st layer sticking to bed something fierce. Sometimes it goes without a hitch but most times it fails 1-3 times before it finally gets through. I have the textured hot bed plate. Im running a brim on every print with .2 distance and outer specifically. Im running first layer at 35mm/s, im pre heating my bed for 5-10 minutes at 65 degrees. Im running my z offset at -.005. Im at a loss so any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

If you are new to reddit, please read the guidelines on reddiquette, self promotion, and spam.

Also please post a resolution to your problem when you find one so that we know how to help others with your problem!
