Filament won't adhere? (lemmy.ca)

ISOLEYIN Ultra PLA 3D Printing Filament 1kg, 1.75mm

I got two spools of this stuff (black and white). First few prints with the white went perfectly. Since then, it won't adhere normally.

I've tried increasing the bed temperature to 60, filament temperature to 210, washed the bed and reapplied the glue, dried the filament.. nothing works.

When I try a raft, it blobs through it, and then won't adhere to itself.

I'm assuming it's me, but idk what I'm doing wrong.

Please be kind, I've only had my printer for a couple of months.

For anyone wondering, it wasn't my filament. It was my nozzle. I replaced the hotend when I first got the printer, and I thought the nozzles would last longer than a few prints. As soon as I replaced it, everything was great again. Note to self, order these things in bulk.

beirut_bootleg is correct. With bed aheision issues, always start with washing the plate with warm water and dish soap and and a clean paper towel. Dry the plate with a clean paper towel. Keep your fingers from touching the plate's surface to prevent the oils from your skin coating the plate.

If this doesn't solve your issue, then we need to try something else.

I definitely wash the bed correctly. I'm new but I know that much 😄

Well, that's new information then.
