Yeah as soon as I realized I was enjoying myself, I ordered a few roles of different materials. I'll give them a try when they land.

Dish soap is my usual go to!

it has been a while since I've printed, but now you mention it yes I seem to recall never having good luck with pla+

πŸ˜‚ I know what to sing a theme with the responses. For the size of machine and enclosure is difficult. But it is positioned in a place I should be able to fashion something.

As I've mentioned with other comments I will try each of these things.

Have you had much luck with hairspray?

I do usually give it a quick scrub, maybe not the best technique.... But I blightly scrub the surface with a sponge.. admittedly using some mild soap and water, then wiping it down with plain water. And finally drying with paper towel. I also make sure the bed preheats beforehand to drive off any remaining moisture.

As other comments of suggested I will try using some IPA 99. If it continues this way I likely use some glue as well.

Thanks for the advice.

The heated bed was set to 70, however I've realised it's actually only for the initial layer where it drops to 60.

Do you think I should try to consistent 60 or 70?

I do have an IR thermometer so I will give it a thorough probe..

As for an enclosure... This is something I remember planning when I initially got the machine years ago. Unfortunately one of the big selling points of the any cubic chiron was the enormous build plate! This means building of an enclosure for it eats up quite a bit of space πŸ˜‚ It's currently situated underneath a desk with three of the four sides covered, but I shall make a curtain to cover the front.

N.b. I can't ever recall using any significant amount of the enormous build plate... So when I look to buy a new printer, I'll definitely go with something a lot smaller, with an enclosure.

Thank you very much for your response, and the link.

I had a look at my settings for bed temperature. I currently have the bed temperature at 70 degrees. However it appears that is initial bed temperature. It then drops to 60. Thankfully I want to print a few more of the exact same model, so I will reprint on a steady 70.

I will give the bed to thorough clean with 99% IPA. A next perhaps a coating of PVA.

Thx again!

Well, that knocked me sick. I hope she recovers and thrives.

Oh I very much see that. The tone was little more tongue in cheek, than I made it sound

I've recently been helping an elderly neighbour clear out her loft space before she moves away.

I pulled down a box of old clothes... She proudly rummaged through, and pulled out a good selection of quite exotic lingerie. It was wild.

Then later when i found a boxed up strap-on, she said "i knew he hid it" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ i was dying!!!

All of us horny buggers are going to be old one day. If i'm half as cool as she is by the time i reach her age. I think it will have been a life worth living

Oh I'm.sure there are plenty of us. Still hiding. Sadly

This is a road I travel frequently. Seeing this posted really screwed with my mind for some reason 🀣

The feeling is so satisfying as you go up the A1 and just as traffic slows for the Western bypass, you stay right and suddenly you actually get moving again. Bliss
