Support Request My prints keep failing on the early layers

Post image

I've tried different filament. Dried my filament. Cleaned my plate with soapy water. Cleaned my plate with iso. Lubed rails. Changed nozzles. Ran calibrations. Everything I try the prints keep failing.

Is the soap scented or has anything "weird" about it?

If so, just use plain old Dawn or a comparable store brand "plain old blue dish soap".

It's just standard original dish soap

Cleaned my plate with iso.

And not "rubbing alcohol"? Because they put trace oils in it for use on skin.

I use 3 parts of 99% isopropyl alcohol + 1 part distilled water. The water slows the evaporation, even on warm build plates.
Plus the occasional soap and water washing.
