MakerGear Forum

Hi To all,
I'am a Noob 3d printer and just got my Makergear M2 yesterday!!! and stoked!! I really love this thing!! Ok so I printed some small bridges and Winterfell from Game of thrones movie and I'am experiencing some lifting on the front right hand corner. Seems to lift or come unstuck in that same front right corner of the base while printing. Seems to only be on thin base layers in that corner, Seems to come up a couple of mm. I was printing PLA at 215c and bed heat at 70c ish. Would love some tips on this guys, and I look forward to getting to know you all, what an awesome community, I'am from Queensland, Australia, can't wait to hear back

Run the bed cooler, 60C.
Use hairspray or glue stick (apply when the bed is cold).
Check your bed level (relative to the nozzle, not horizon) -- especially in that corner.

If you have purchased the software S3D there's several ways to configure your 1st layer.
No expert, but slowing 1st layer down to 50% and laying it on thick at 150% has helped me with ABS.
PLA is not near as touchy.

Bonding agent to the bed is another place to look.
Blue painters tape works with PLA if you can ever get the print loose.

Infill percentages ...if set too high, will cause prints to lift.

Hello down under and welcome mate!

Hey Thanks Insta and Captain John, It turned out it was the bed level in that corner was low!! I think I got it sorted. Also Capt I just adjusted the 1st layer to 100% and Iam printing an N Scale bridge as I type this. The first layer just printed perfect. Top some fiddling of the bed to get it sorted but jam sure il get better at it. I might get some feeler guages to get it perfect. Learning learning, Hey thanks guys for the quick response. I haven't tried the hair spray yet as the little test base I did stuck so well once I got the level correct.

Thanks again guys
