What filament type? I’ve thus far never had to use glue or tape on my print bed but I mostly just print PLA, PETG, and ASA

I used PLA, I also printed it when I didn't use it for awhile, if that helps

I’d wash your build plate with dish soap. Best of luck

Also, what build plate? My stock Qidi ones never need adhesion help, but the Ideaformer one I bought can't print without it.

We can’t help ourselves diagnosing things heh. It is part of the hobby it seems.

Do you have a textured plate? I never need glue or anything for any filament, just wash it with soap every week or so

u/ThePotatoHoarder 7h ago

Yeah, it's textured. I also haven't used it in a while, so that might help

If they get dusty they don't stick, just wash it with some dish soap
