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.

    As a seethingly jealous ender 3 peasant who is still spending most of his time keeping my printer working with kludges and duct tape; it’s nice to know Bambu owners are human after all and still run into problems.

    Hope you get it sorted and are back printing soon! 🖖

      Haha, my ender is printing at 20mm/s to avoid slippage, with the bed scraper jammed into to filament guide to make it actually grab and feed, and at 105% extrusion, but it’s still chugging along. After a few restarts to get the fan spinning, that it.

      Manged to get an ender 3V2 a few years ago, auto bed levelling is a must have feature if you intend to spend more time using your printer than calibrating or fixing it. After that masking tape fixes all adhesion problems.

        I must have been lucky with my Ender 3 - I only leveled it every few weeks or less. Very solid printer, had it 5 years.

      I feel you - I ran an Ender 3 for 5 years but now I have an A1 and honestly don’t miss all the endless tinkering. Learned a hell of a lot in the process. No complaints about the Ender, it was a rock solid machine - now it has a new life as a laser engraver, courtesy of the Creality 1.6w laser attachment which works nice.
