- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ค. 2024
- This is one of the most common issues with 3D printers. If your adhesion is lacking, you might end up with warped prints, or the print coming loose during the print cycle. Today we are going to explore why this is happening and how to fix it.

You’re probably the first 3d print channel that explained the paper drag when you manually level and that blew my mind because no one shows how much drag is too much and how much is too little. 10/10 great for beginners
i agree, thanks alot for showing that, no one's ever really explained how to properly do that.
you really just blew my mind with this simple explenation of how much drag on paper its like it was a secret
i was about to comment this, this tip was very helpful, thanks!
I just started with this hobby and it baffled me everytime I attempt to do bed leveling with paper. The filament constantly wanting to ooze out the nozzle also didnt help
I always question how much is too much or too little. Like there is no visual on what it's supposed to look or feel. Maybe you can't feel things through video literally, but with a clear demonstration on what it looks like can give you and idea on what you will see and feel.
This guy looks exactly like I would expect someone whose name is Richard Cleveland to look like
When I first got into this I had no idea something as simple as bed leveling would be so complicated
Forreal this is crazy. I’m in tho lol
same bro, same. 😂 🤦🏻♂️
Amen
Tell me about it. It has me driven crazy. I found the secret is the middle. Even if all the corners seem correct and the middle is tight it means it's all wrong. Like I said driven crazy. But R2D2 is worth it. I think...lol
I find using a piece of paper works well for levelling. When you move the paper under the nozzle, it needs to have a bit of resistance 😄
Trending on the top list and it is 5 years later... And it shows. Your video is simple, clear and straight to the point. Thank you!
You sir are the man we need in the 3D printing community. Everything you mentioned is very informative. After scratching my head a few times trying to fix my Ender 3s, I finally got it going again. You are a god among men. 10/10
Thanks for the explanation. I was having issues printing. Re-calibrated and it is working now.
Thank you so much. Three minutes into the video and my problem was identified. Did what you said and my Ender 3 is back to perfect prints again. Thank you so much.
Bravo. I watched over a dozen videos and you were the only one who discussed all my concerns.
My bed was bent severely and I couldn’t get it leveled, tried and tried and tried and kept trying, this video finally saved me from throwing the printer out a window. Thanks for the very detailed video 👍
How do you check if your bed is bent?

I would like to say *THANK YOU* for showing this paper drag trick because after a few successful prints with my Prusa i3 MK3 I started having issues with prints not sticking and it was inevitably making a huge mess every time. I had used the first layer calibration tool several times and both the lines/angles and the square being printed looked pretty good, or so I thought. I turns out that when I tried the manual Z-axis calibration with a piece of paper the Z-axis delta was significantly different from the measurement I got with the first layer calibration tool. From this point on, I've had no issues with prints sticking and I've been so happy with this printer. Thanks again!
Sir, I truly appreciate you. As a first time printer your videos have been so damn helpful. Thank you for all you do.
I just did bed leveling and then prints worked awesome. Thanks for the tips and tricks.
I was having trouble getting the bed level.. Then I found a tiny piece of PLA debris on the center of the aluminum base plate.
I discovered early on that preheating helped alot, you are the only one that includes that important tip!
Fantastic video. I’m looking at my first print that’s gone past the first layer thanks to you 👍🏻
thank you for the tips...I'm brand new to 3D printing and I was having issues with bed adhesion...the glue stick worked like a charm.
My expectations were really low with how poorly my troubleshooting was going, but the glue stick trick solved it completely. I'm amazed! Thank you very much.
Absolutely a sanity saver! So useful and it looks like I am having success at last! I know you posted this a long time ago - nevertheless it is just what I needed. Thank you.
Thanks for your tips. The problem I had was twofold: bed was not level and bed temp was too hot i.e. at 68C. adjusted the two and now works great.
dude, your intro is amazing. I've just started learning how to edit animations like that and that was really creative!
I have found this the BEST video explaining this, I still am having issues but very good video. Thank you and keep up the good work my friend!! You are a good teacher, you explain things very well! Subscribed.
I wish I found you sooner. I've been stressing over trying to fix this for days.
Thank you so much. I made three noob mistakes and you fixed it all. You're awesome!
Right after you explained the paper buckling, I tried it, and it fixed! You deserve more attention my dude.
Great tips! Think I’ve some new ideas to go back and try again!
I'm new to 3D printing -having fun by the way. Purchased a Monoprice 111P this past Christmas. Been searching for a site like this and I've hit the mother-load ... Thanks for these tips because I've had a problems with the first layer. I would scrape elmer's glue on the bed - it worked. But it was a mess. The glue stick is the best for me. Keeping the bed clean is the next challenge. Thanks.
Thank you, you helped me solve my first big issue with a week's old Ender 3 (simple version). Cheers!
You give very informative, very clear instruction. Thank you
Tons of great info all proven and tested! Thanks Brother.
This would have been so much helpful if this was the first video that came up the search for "print won't stick." So, so many great tips and techniques. Thank you.
I found that just a little more presser on the paper(still move easy) That I do not need anything to hold my print down .
Thanks for the video you do a great job. Great sound. Hard to find youtube video you can hear.
First video I've seen! Love the animation for the intro. So cool!
You’re such a blessing oh my gosh. This video helped me so much 😂 you explain things so simply it really helped
Wanted to thank you for the suggestion with the bed being hot and then adding the glue stick, it worked like a charm. Printer is getting back to work finally.
Yes, you are right, leveling the bed was my problem.. My problem was the adjustable pulley behind the bed, it was very loose, and the bed was shacking.. Thanks for posting.. Subscribed..
Nice work on the 3-D intro. I tried an old glue stick from my junk drawer....went on thick.....the nozzle cut rows in it, like an Iowa cornfield....nostalgic. Finally went to tape over glass, and that is working well.
Too funny. Cedar Rapids,Ia.
Great advise. I was about to give up on it.
Thank you, very informative video that I was looking for for my new 3d printer. subscribed!
I was suffering with default Ender 3 bed sheet and the bed itself. Switched to mirror and it was fixed, everything started to make sense. Ever since i've had troubles because of buildup of hairspray... So any gap you can see is going to be too much. Use good ruler, shine a light behind it and see for yourself.. Oh, i'm using 12mm/s on the first layer.. it is slow but it is worth it..
And use hairpsray on the mirror, it leaves smoother finish. Use glue sticks on the default Ender3 bed as it really helps. Using isopropyl alcohol and water as a mist will renew the glue stick surface for multiple times but even that won't give you more than 5 or 6, it just evens out the marks left behind by the previous print.. But there is no way i'm switching from mirror+hairspray very soon, it is way too foolproof and the finish is immaculate.
thank you so much i was starting to freak out cause i am totally new at this
Thanks. The test prints included with my printer printed great but anything bigger than the dog or pig would end up with the filament dragging all over the bed. When I was leveling the bed I wasn't letting the paper drag enough because I didn't understand how much drag I actually need. Now my 3d printer upgrades are printing good. 😁
Thank you so much for your advice, going to try some of them now. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
im suprise how well you introduce that problem :) in start video i was preparing for close and select next video. But what i hear sound some professional . Nice. You talk about many things how to do that well.. best way will be to show in program and show on printer. Like you said.. you mostly record that for begginer. Take care
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
The advice on bed leveling can't be understated. I'm new to 3D printing and my Ender 3 Pro worked perfectly after assembly. One day, I noticed the main bed support was loose and tried to tighten it, but I must have done something wrong. NOTHING would stick after that except the test lines on one side. I tried everything except glue and eventually solved it by completely dissembling the bed removing it from the belt, checking it for warps, and then re-assembling slowly using a level. It's pretty much back to what it was now. To perfect it, I will install a BLT Touch, but at least I can print again.
Man, i have the same problem, the SIDE line it's ok but in the middle cant stick, i level the bed mannualy but nothing, i'm so frustrated
Help, I feel like the same thing my top left is way loose it even fell off, I used it fine til that happened, now i get level it and my black filament is coming out white? Or is etching? Plz someone
Thank you very much! This video saved me from 3D printing frustation
Thank you men you realy helped me .Eugene
Excellent explanations 👍
I am so so new at this and your channel is helping me to better understand it all much better....
When you talk about settings for the first layer am i doing it on my ender3 settings, or an outside program?
If your filament is not sticking when going in circular motions, you will need to lower the bed. I did this and it is now printing perfect circles. I assume you will also need to consistently level the bed if you have a new printer due to the fluctuations in length of the springs for the bed, due to a shifting k factor from temperature change.
glue stick tip! saved me. now printing surgical mask straps for my wife's co-workers for her hospital ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
edit: I use magigoo now and it's 100% better than hairspray or a glue stick 👍🏼
Thanks! your tips helped a lot
I made one of the biggest rookie mistakes when starting to print on glass. I never cleaned the surface for a week till my prints started not sticking and I at one point wanted to return the printer since I tried to fix everything I could think of. Simple alcohol and paper towel fixed it for me after 4 days of hair pulling
hi there, great video's they've helped me a lot, please keep on going....
I am super thankful for you explaining this exactly as I thougt the bed needs readjusting pretty often, what I have been thinking of that there should be a 5th support in the middle because I feel like my buildplate is bowing down there on my crealitu ender 5 s1. I am going to readjust things once again :)
WIFE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !
Super helpful , THANKS!
Dude, this channel looks like the public access channel I worked at in highschool, LOVE IT #LCTV
Yup...first 2 prints were perfect, then all of a sudden, I couldn't get anything to stick to save my life. Leveled the bed, tried different temps, cleaned the bed, tried everything I can think of. Found this vid...will give it a shot with a Post-It Note and make sure I'm not printing too fast and we'll see if I'm back up and running. Thanks!!
Thanks for this video. BTW I could swear I heard Rich from Review Tech USA somewhere in this video 😆
Than you for an excellent video. I have just purchased a Creality Ender 3 V2 Neo, and successfully completed some prints with the white PLA that came with the printer, having followed this and numerous other tutorials. I purchased some Sunlu Blue PLA and just cannot get it to stick. When the printer initially creates a single test line towards the edge of the bed, this line sticks very well. When the nozzle then moves more towards the centre of the bed to print the object, the filament does not adhere very well at all. I have repeatedly adjusted the level of the bed and the Z offset but cannot get this blue filament to stick. As soon as I re-insert the default white that came with the printer it sticks fine.
Could not get the print to stick to bed . Thank you for this video , helped a lot! 👍
Thanks. I plugged in my elegoo 3 and ran it right out of the box and it worked fine. I monkeyed with it to make it better and I'm still trying to get it back to the way it was😊
Thanks for info.
Thanks for the info you Ben a really big help
I've watched a dozen bed leveling videos. This is one of them, but your idea of putting tape under the glass is brilliant.
I have 2 Ender 3 printers. They are slightly different from each other. But, in buying glass beds for them I thought all my troubles would be over. Yeah right.
Thanks for the help.
I gave up on the glass bed early on and bought a magnetic sheet. It had a rougher texture and kept my prints attached.
I tried glue sticks and blue tape on the glass and it just made a mess without helping.
Thanks for the great video, it helps me a lot and my print after following the different steps and settings was perfect again. I put 2 M3 paper parts under my printbed on the right spots and the bed is perfect levelled again. 👍💪👌
being into this hobby for 8 months and owning two different size printers i have fixed every issue i have had... several things must be done for prints to stick well... mainly make sure you have a flat build plate, level it with a good amount of squish so first layer bonds well, make sure your nozzle and bed temps are set correctly... make sure your build plate is clean etc... those are the basics...You must have a good file that is sliced well also... Machine's have to put together well,belts and roller adjusted and everything nice and tight etc... But there are many other factors... the more problems you have to figure out the better you get at fine tuning your machines...
But not too tight as I found out the hard way last week.
Thank you! It was very helpful visiting you guys in Calgary the other day!
You are right. My mistake was the bad leveling bed.
Most Informative Video I’ve seen on 3D Printing Thus Far Bar None ! 10 Waffles 😉
Glad it was helpful!
I bought a ender 5 two weeks ago ( never owned or played with a 3D printer) I took my time putting it together making sure the rails were flush to each other then I put it down and leveled the frame up then leveled the bed.
There was to be a test print on the card but I don’t think/seen it so I just went ahead and printed a small cat figure and was amazed how awesome it came out first try.
I think a lot of people just slap crap together and expect it to work. If frame is not all square and level you can’t have a level bed and you just make things harder for yourself.
PS if you are thinking about getting a 3D printer DO IT!!! I wish I would of got one earlier. For past two weeks mine has been running none stop and I have huge list of things to print. I didn’t know if it was gonna be a waste of money that I’d use a couple of times but now I know it absolutely awesome tool. Everyone should have one, can make pretty much everything.
Thank you for your suggestions. I'm using PA6-CF Nylon carbon fiber reinforced PA6 should I turn off all fans (extruder fan and nozzle fan)?
I have a cheap Prusa Mini, it has automatic bed leveling. I really hate using glue stick. I hate the mess and work of getting it all off my build plate but it does work. I have tried EVERYTHING to get PLA to stick to my bed without using a glue stick. I've tried PEI coated, Non-PEI coated, textured, smooth, basically any compatible build plate I could find. I am 100% sure my layer height is correct. So far ive been using Prusament and amazonbasic filament with Prusa's preset filament parameters for those specific filaments. I'm starting think something may be off on my printer. I wish I knew how to calibrate the temperature sensors or at least verify they are reading correctly. PETG sticks almost TOO good, PLA sticks not at all. Because of that I primary print in PETG. Just sucks, I wish I could figure how to print in PLA easily, without glue. Until then ill continue to use PETG. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you i really needed that
Thank you for the narrative story on how thing are working with paper drag. Just a question: Should I turn the heater bed off and apply the Elmer's Glue Stick and go ahead with printing without heated bed? Thank again!
Thank you for this video! On 6:02 you were saying put tape to compensate for the dip/bump on the bed. Any specific tape that I can use? Your diagram looks like the tape would be in between the glass and the bed, not above the bed.
this video was so helpful :)
Should the paper have a stuttering feel when pulling/pushing?
First time at the channel here. Great video and thanks for the information! Subbed! Anyone ever confuse you with Andy Reid? lol
I literally thought I was watching Andy Reid
Thanks, my speed was at 100mm/second! I put it down to 50 and now it works great
Is there a link about the temperature tower to help with setting the temperature you mentioned in the clip but no link showed up
YOU ARE GREAT DUDE
I was trying things to get my Prints To Stick, It Seemed To Come Off When Turning A Corner, Then I Remember From My Automotive Background, Tack Cloth For Painting Cars! Worked Like A Damn Champion!!! It's Cheap And It Works, Little 91 Percent Alcohol And It Comes Right Off!! It's Just What I Use, And The Price Is Damn Fine!
Very helpful
Hi, Enjoyed your video. NEWBIE to 3D printing. Having an issue with printing after changing my nozzle. It seems like the PLA is extruding too thick. Have you ever had that issue any ideas? Very frustrated Dr Rob.
Love your vids they are really helpfull
I tried a new filament today, the specs said that I should print with 70-80 bed temp and 230-250 hot end.
There was no way to print with these settings, and I tried for at least 2-3 hours of trying to level the bed as best as possible. Finally "thanks to your video" I tried to increase the heat in both bed and hot end to 255 and 90 and the print finally stick to the bed and print perfectly. Thanks for the tips, the part that the filament might not come out correctly because of low temp really helped me.
I've got PETG with those temps and really struggle with it at around 230-240, 70-80. I suppose I could try hotter, but I heard the Bowden tube plastic really doesn't like to be hotter than 240.
Just got a cr 10 mini the bed is nice and level but I cannot get the nozzle to touch the paper as you say it will. Also where the nozzle is that piece is crooked slightly. I have all the twist screws under as tight as possible and still cannot get the bed closer to the nozzle.
Thanks a lot!!! 🙏
What about the nozzle, do we take it for granted that the bore is perpendicular to the bed? If a side by side lines are laid down in the X and Y direction could you see one of the sides of the side be side slightly raised?? A newbie thinking out loud, maybe it never happens.
Thanks
Thank you for doing a proper guide n fix video(s) where you show what you can do instead of just saying it
Damn Andy Reid coaching us on 3D printing too!
I want to print abs or possibly with this automotive filament because I plan to use it to make prototypes and practical use fittings and mounts, so they need to be sturdy. I have an ender 3 v2, whats the best full metal hot end so I can print safely above 250, Id need a range of 255-265 to be safe
Thanks for your thoughts. I have been having difficulties printing after going through your guide for levelling the plate. I discovered on my last print that a thin business card set up the seperation satisfactorily, but today nothing is working properly. The printer is a CTC DIY Prusa i3 knockoff. After watching this I held a ruler across my glass palte and discovered that I could slide a Post-it note easily under the ruler at the center of the plate, but not at the edges. Going to turn over the plate and test again! Also having problems that Cura 4.5 is now not heating the baseplate, and this is bothering me. I heat it from the device control panel before starting. Is weather a factor? It's warm here in Dorset. Thanks for any advice.
The screws in the corners of the base plate are slightly proud of the plate, even after being filed down so they keep the glass high, and the clips that are inboard of the screws must be flexing the glass plate down a bit. This is a pain as I will have to file the screw heads down a bit more, which will not leave any slot for the screwdriver.
8:45 I am brand spankin' new to 3D printing. I came here trying to find out why my first ever print won't stick to the bed. You said printing too fast is an issue. but I bought the Ender 7 that says 250mm p/s is it's target print speed. And 180 is too fast? Am I screwed out of the box?
nice job man im new you rlly helped
Were you gonna link to prusa calculator below?
Thank you it seems to be working.
Very easy to understand that’s very easy. Like
MUCHAS GRACIAS!!! THank you!! Very much!!! 😁😁
