Hi there. Have just got a turnigy fabrikator and having a problem with it. As it is printing, the object is popping out of place on the printer bed. I’ve tried changing the speed and temp but neither seems to be fixing it. Could it be that the printer bed isn’t level or that I haven’t put it on the right settings?
I am new to 3d printing only use it for my rc hobby. I chose the turnigy as it seemed pretty cheap and fit for my purpose to build quad copter and fpv parts. Other than this one issue, it has been a brilliant buy. Took a good few hours to build but there were really helpful videos on YouTube as well as a detailed guide.
Does anyone have a solution? Thanks
abs or pla ?
z height and be leveling is critical in getting good bed adhesion. also blue painters tape or glue stick can help.
Abs. Would hairspray work. If not I will try kapton tape. Thanks
When using ABS, glue stick was the magic bullet for me. Cured most of my bed adhesion problems.
Get the purple Elmers one. Purple on the inside that is, I think the packaging is orange or red. It’s easily soluble for cleanup.
Everyone has a magic bullet of their own. Mine is hairspray. But you will have to find the right hairspray. Not all hairsprays work. And the perfect layer height. First layer 0.3 mm, and if everything is correct, you get a perfect first layer.
And slow it down, certainly at the first layer.No faster than 50mm/sec.
Beware of drafts, turn of the big fan.
ABS can be tricky, but after a lot of bad prints, you will get perfect results.
Did you level the bed?
Exactly Nathan, something happens when that glue heats to 80 to 100 degrees that turns it into concrete. Then when you are done and it cools it will pop right back off the surface. Blew me away the first time I used it cause I was skeptical.
