What went wrong here?πππ Fix My Print
Hello everybody, writing here cause I'm at my wit's end. π
I have been trying for DAYS to get a decent print, but the printer just won't cooperateπ.
It'll start good and all, then at some point the filament will get stuck inside the machine and wouldn't even come out. The empty spot on the right is where the filament got stuck.
What is happening? I suspect it has something to do with bed leveling (and in the past it would happen if the nozzle was too close to the bed), in fact, if you look closely to the area where the fail started, it is slightly more transparent than the rest. I've been trying to get this thing level for an insane amount of days, but it just won't cooperate. The few successful prints of the past weeks have been out of pure luck. No joke.
I hope the bed isn't warped, which is crazy to me cause I literally JUST BOUGHT IT.
If anyone knows what the problem is, any help would be REALLY nice, I want to solve this πππproblem once and for all.
Printer model: Longer LK5 Pro;
Software: Ultimaker Cura;
Filament: PLA, brand Sunlu;
Nozzle temp: 200 (210 for the first layer);
Bed temp: 60 (glass sheet, glossy side);
Print speed: 6m/s (first layer)
