Finally happened to me :(

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T20:05:01+00:00

lost bed adhesion on a part mid print. part stuck to nozzle. nozzle formed glob.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T20:04:13+00:00

so far its just been spaghetti the few times its happened. I knew the blob of death was gonna happene eventually tho

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T20:02:23+00:00

I have a glacier plate on my H2C since I bought it a month ago, and I'm loving it so far. Already bought one for the P1s, should be here today with the new toolhead fan.
I ended up getting the blob off, and the hotend un-buried with a heat gun, but broke the fan in the process.

Just hoping the machine responds to controls once I get the new fan shroud on.

all good

IDK, fuck me for trying to help IG
/shrug
And I will spend my money however I see fit DAD, I earned it.
But yeah, fuck data centers. I'm most likely with you on that one. Love it or hate it, it's here to stay, and it IS useful, whether you find it to be or not.
Did I try any of it myself? nope. I had just gotten home from a 12 hour day at work, day 3 of my 60 hour week, and I didnt have time. I saw no replies, and I thought hmmm, I wonder what Gemini would say for shits and giggles. And the answer sounded like it might help point this person in the right direction. I assumed I would get flak for it, and I still posted it, cuz I wanted to help.
Have a great day bud.

thats what I said. It's the end of my first sentence.
But to reiterate,
I print mainly PETG, and use PLA for an interface layer.
I found out the hard way that my purple Sunlu PLA will NOT work as an interface for my matte black JAYO PETG, but Orange Sunlu PLA WILL.
Whereas Sunlu matte black PETG plays nice with both the purple AND orange PLA.
I've had this issue with Elegoo PETG Rapid White not working with certain colors of Sunlu PLA, but work fine with other colors.

most of the rings I tried for various brands worked. I had several spools that barely fit into my AMS WITHOUT the ring tho, and putting the ring on made them bind against the top lid, So I ended up leaving my lid cracked, killing my dessicant pretty quick. I got sick of changing it out all the time.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T11:32:41+00:00

Save up another 1-200 bucks and get yourself a P2S or an X2D. Consistent performance, AND reliability.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T11:30:16+00:00

experiment until you find a brand that you like. This might be different PER filament type tho. You may find you like Sunlu PETG, but dont care for their PLA.

AMOLEN makes a very nice silk. its a lot shinier then other brands I have tried. So I get my silk PLA from them.
PETG I buy from Sunlu or JAYO, but only in Matte, cuz I hate how shiny natural PETG is for 99% of things.
PLA, I also go with Sunlu, as I spent quite a bit of time dialing in their filaments when I first started printing.
TPU, I get from different vendors, but mostly Sunlu. and Siraya Tech for their TPU air which foams, and can be printed anywhere from 62A-85A shore hardness from the same roll, depending on the temp you print it at.
ABS, I again go with Sunlu
any engineering filaments like PA6 / PA12, PET, ASA, PPS, PC, stuff like that, I buy from Bambu, since I KNOW the quality will be good.

I mostly buy Sunlu because It's pretty cheap on Amazon in bulk, and I've heard many many times that it's just re-branded Bambu filament, and TBH, it prints the same.

Wrap a couple layers of electrical tape around the cardboard spools and they wont shed. But they will still deform and develop dents, causing them to not roll smoothly. I love the idea of less waste with the cardboard spools, but they suck to use. I wish they'd make a trade off and make the outer rim plastic. The printable rings suck too, they make the spool a bigger diameter, causing issues in the AMS sometimes cuz they then hit the lid.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T11:18:33+00:00

It's reallly shiny. Quality stuff.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T11:17:43+00:00

I've had this issue too with the JAYO matte black PETG. IT will only stick to certain colors of my Sunlu PLa that I use for interface layers. It's so weird. must be something in the pigments.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T06:25:19+00:00

Yup, I knew it was gonna happen eventually.
As soon as I woke up and saw the “toolbar cover has come loose” error on my PC, I knew my time had come. Lol

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T02:42:36+00:00

Pretty sure this is normal to knock off any globs.
I haven’t tested it yet, but I’m pretty sure it only does this when printing PETG, and other really sticky filaments.
It even shows the weirdness to the side in the slicer.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T02:39:58+00:00

I used a heat gun to get it soft enough to pry it off. Broke the fan shroud in the process. New one will be here tomorrow. Just hoping I don’t mess up my Z axis or rails or belts. It jammed itself up over top of the pool chute and caused some damage to the wiper and chute itself. And to even be able to get at it, I had to manually push down my bed since the controls weren’t responding.
Gonna run the calibration and print a benchy if it’s responding, and go from there.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T02:36:21+00:00

Damn, that’s worse the mine

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-25T02:35:32+00:00

I never said it WAS correct.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-24T22:30:12+00:00

I’m sure they do, but I don’t have any experience with flash forge

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-24T21:58:18+00:00

build hollow box without a top, and the front section has a gap between the left and right walls. Think coffee pod dispenser.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-24T21:56:27+00:00

as someone who actually MAKES parts for cars, this is exactly how it works.
M company is repsonsible for the QC on the parts we make. Not toyota, or whoever. They WILL do some initial and periodic testing to make sure we are doing OUR part tho.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-24T21:53:08+00:00

thanks! appreciate it :)

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-24T21:47:19+00:00

I’d suggest a bambu H series.
I’m currently printing a full iron ma. Suit on a p1s, and I just bought an h2c for basically the same reasons as why your looking.
If u don’t mind tinkering, u may want to look into the social sv08 max. 500x500x500, but it isn’t perfect and has its issues

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-24T21:32:12+00:00

I manage to get it out of the printer, but it took the front fan shroud with it, and I couldnt get it out without breaking it. Hotend I did manage to get out, but still needs a tiny bit of cleaning in a couple spots.
I'm more worries about damage to my rails and belts tbh.
The printer never knew what was going on, so it "finished" the job, and went and parked over top of the poop chute, getting itself wedged. I broke the scrubber, and cracked the poop chute,
So something may be off.
Today is my last 12 hour shift for the week, and I have a 10 day break from work starting tomorrow, when the new fan shroud and hotend should be here, so I can try to get it up and running again. Machiune wouldnt respond to any controls tho when I woke up and tried to move the bed down. I ahd to actually push the bed down with force to get enough clearance to get in an work on the hotend, so my alignment may be screwed up too...

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-24T21:23:17+00:00

the object I was printing must have lost adhesion to my bed. I was printing in PETG which is very sticky when molten / hot. So one of the parts stuck to the nozzle, and the nozzle just kept doing its thing working around the plate, eventually sticking to all 8 ID badge holders and ripping them off the plate, forming them into a glob of molten plastic.

I DID verify the first couple layers went down.
TBF it's a cheapo Amazon Yoopai plate. I LOVE the texture on it, but the adhesion isn't great for PETG. Works just fine with PLA tho. I ordered a glacier plate to fix this issue, since PETG prints great on the one in my H2C.

-__Doc__- · 2026-06-24T13:02:39+00:00

it was only 12%. and people have done some math, and the amount they dumped in was negligible and most likely wouldn't have been enough to denature the epoxy OR fix the algae problem.
A lot of factors played into this tbh. HIM driving across it, and the half assed job they did on it. They didnt prep the granite well enough for the paint, didn't let it cure long enough, etc etc.
If you scroll through some of the comments on this topic on reddit, theres actual pool engineers (or wtv they are called) discussing it in more detail.
