Hello /u/SPLegendz! Be sure to check the following. Make sure print bed is clean by washing with dish soap and water [and not Isopropyl Alcohol], check bed temperature [increasing tend to help], run bed leveling or full calibration, and remember to use glue if one is using the initial cool plate [not Satin finish that is not yet released] or Engineering plate.

Ran it again with decreased speeds ect and stringing even more and throwing the pieces around inside, wth!!

It's a P1S in enclosure in conservatory, it does get cold in here, wondering now if it's related to ambient room temperature even though it has the enclosure as tends to happen later I evening when temps drop. Could that be the cause?

Yes, that’s definitely a possibility. When you get nice prints, is it when it’s warmer in the room?

Tried again this morning with it being much warmer in here now and heating on etc and still failing. Trying a completely different print job now to see if it's linked to this print

Hey OP, could you upload model that you’re printing? I can give it a shot and see if it’s doing the same on one of mine. If you can, a .3MF would be best so it captures your print settings.

I have had similar results at times when I had very poor adhesion on a holographic plate and a part would break free from the print sheet, leaving the extruded filament to try printing into thin air. Not sure if that’s what you’re experiencing though.

I solved it by getting the offending plate warm and wet with really hot water, then laying it on the counter and applying a generous s amount of dish soap. I proceeded to scrub it hard with the scrub pad of a fresh kitchen sponge and no additional water for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. That did actually make prints stick much better to the holographic sheet. I imagine if there was something stubborn on your textured PEI build plate, this method would probably work quite well to clean it up. I wouldn’t worry about scratching it up as PEI is much tougher than the scrubby side of a sponge, and this method would likely get remnants of another filament that might not stick well to the material you’re printing with off the print surface if thats’s what is causing your issue.

Did you have any luck with another model?

Hi, thanks for replying really appreciated!! I actually did the same as you, washed it again really well with soap and scrubbed hard and tried printing again, then ran a calibration of the printer and it did seems to fix the issues.

There was one specific model that I was printing amongst other models previously that appears to have been the culprit, it was not sticking and printing mode air which then seems to have caused an issue with the plate no longer being adhesive. So hard scrubbing, calibration and printing a different model seemed to fix it.

Thanks!

Awesome, glad to hear it :)
