I am somewhat new to 3d printing and i am playing around with different filaments and print plates on my cheap ender3 v3 se.

Right now I am observing a weird adhesion-issue i have not seen before: The copper-silk filament has trouble sticking to the printplate, but only in some places of the plate.

My guess it’s either some dirt/oil on the printplate. Or maybe the silk-pla has bad adhesion.

What do you think?

This printplate is this (but glued over the original printplate): https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CL5FYHBR

The filament is this: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09CPBRQXS

some clarification for the video: all corners of the first layer should have been rectangular. Instead some corner lost adhesion and become roundish. Here is the view from the slicer: https://imgur.com/rwA0fQW

    1. Try increasing hotend temp for first few layers and hotbed temp throughout
    2. Try moving z closer for first layer
    3. Repeat both of above in small increments

    FWIW, those PEI sheets usually need higher bed temp than the regular sheets

      the default from the printer was 60C. I had some better results with 70C. But the issue still happend with more delicate prints.

      thanks. I didn’t know that. What magnitude are we talking here (like: 10K more for PEI-sheets? or more like 1K?)

      Try moving z closer for first layer

      I think this may be the solution. How much should I change the z-offset? (the print in the video has 0.2mm layer height. And the worst-adhession issues happened with 0.1mm)

        K Kelvin, not K thousands of degrees… It’s too early to think.

        You may also have a bed flatness problem, if it’s not a dirty plate.
