Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

    What firmware are you using? I’ve tried a couple different ones. I think the biggest issue I encounter is the BL Touch measurements seem really off near the edges of the plate, which makes the mesh corrections over correct. I have found the mesh tool helps me manually level the plate better, which is my current workflow.

    And that’s just the bed leveling. My extruder keeps clogging to the point that I have to pause the print to do a cold pull multiple times mid-print to get something bigger than about a cubic inch to print. I’m not sure what’s wrong with it. Maybe it’s crappy filament but I’m worried something else is going on.

      @WolfLink I’m using Marlin. Yes it’s manually levelling it really helps. No need for messing paper/feeler gauges.

      I’ve had issues after using some silk filament with jamming. I ended up replacing nozzle and heat break, several times. I only use silk filament when I have spares ready. I think it’s some kind of sticky residue or heat creep in the filament.
