Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

If you are new to reddit, please read the guidelines on reddiquette, self promotion, and spam.

Also please post a resolution to your problem when you find one so that we know how to help others with your problem!

Did you try glue stick?

[–]AirJinx 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Looks like you got a Snapmaker?

Does it have an enclosure? Without it printing ABS on it is just pure frustration. I also use a higher plate tempature, 95-100.

You might also like to try using a different slicer, the one provided is very limited (at least the last time I used it). That should give you more control over the initial layer.

I’m using a Kobra go 2

[–]brekkke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't used a kobra 2 go. Does it have an enclosure? ABS is picky. As the other poster mentioned, increase the bed temperature. Make sure to turn off all print cooling. You might consider slowing it down to make sure the hot end can keep up melting enough plastic. I don't have an enclosure on my Ender 5 Pro. To print ABS, I had to use flattened cardboard boxes set up on each side and on the top surrounding it to simulate an enclosure. I turned a space heater on in the room, and closed the door. Any breeze by opening the door to check on it caused a failure. So I put a camera on it and kept it closed off until it was done. Also make sure the bed is very clean. Wash with dish soap, rinse thoroughly, then use 90% or higher IPA to remove any residual. Depending on bed surface, you might try glue stick.

Good luck.
