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

    120grit sand paper give it a scuff and rubing alcohol before each print. That solved almost all of my issues with bed adhesion and let me get away with it where normally it would fail. Anything else it’s probably out of level bed or actual frame of the machine has a bend or low spot. If your z offset was bad you would have that happening all over the the first layer. If you have a bl touch on your set up, make a grid amd write down each number if there is a difference in the corners it’s bed level If it’s middles / sides it’s a low spot in frame some materials tolerate out of level better then others.
