Print quality questions K. My print does not stick to the bed. What to do? First of all, check the bed levelling of the machine. Print the surface test to see if the filaments equally stick to the bed. If not, please level the bed only on the place where it is needed. Also, make sure the machine has been pre-heating for about 15 minutes before you start a large print. - Page 28 The filament breaks when I just started to print. What to do? When you are not printing for a few days, and you leave the filament in the print head, the filament is under tension. Make sure when you start a new print, you cut off the filament that was under tension (from filament detection until print head).
