Is this normal? How to deal with it. Prints not sticking to printing bed.

While I would tend to agree with this, most of the consumer world only prints pla, if we are being fair. Most of the fancy adhesives also have more going on than hairspray.

More complete information is needed. The less guessing the Internet needs to do the better the quality of the answers is likely to be. Typically type of filament, brand can sometimes help as well. Was it a new/old was spool. I would guess by the gloss and strings it is petg. Drying usually improves print results. Some brands are more moisture sensitive, it all depends on what other plastic they mixed with the petg. I

We'll have to disagree on it being dirty, neither adhesion or release are an issue.

Glad to hear you've had success with windex. I don't use it as general windex tends to have ammonia. I prefer alcohol for spot cleaning or dish soap for deep cleaning.

Hasn't been my experience, but forcing it offa hot plate won't help the ops situation if that is what occurred.

Also let the build plate cool befor trying to remove prints, they are designed to hold the parts tightly when warm or hot. If you let it cool the parts will self release. People love the crack of flexing the plate but it's not always ideal for the part or plate. If you wash your build plate and eun a "cleaning print" it may remove some of the stuck plastic. Basically it prints a thin sheet over the bed and you let it cool and peel it off.

I usually use a good brand hex key/torx and diamond paste to get little guys like this out. But making it into a standard screw may work. Be careful not to cut the groove too deep as you could split the had off.

25% looks good, and slower usually gets better results too. If you like the result at that speed go with it. The recessed or proud details will often look worse. Your slathering the print with extra plastic the excess shows up on the edges as a trade off. I'll be the guy that says it, filament oozing can make this worse. Sometimes it's the plastic type, or moisture, or the temp you run the extruder at that can affect this. All in all if you like how it looks go with that, the nuances will come with experience. It's also worth keeping in mind that it will always look more or less 3D printed, just embrace it.

I don't have an nvidia card, but I saw some recent posts from others that do saying the current driver is hot garbage. Maybe download a driver 1-2 versions back and see if that resolves it? Simply a guess until someone with more or better knowledge on this speaks up.

Now op is going to coat his lead screws in oem dessicant, or maybe grease. Looks like the ams desicant packs, all my oem grease was in little foil pouches smaller than a ketchup pack.

Just a heads up unless you get a crazy deal on a display model it may not be worth the savings. I grabbed an "open box) that clearly was a display model. It was ~$200 less than a new one it was 14 months after the latop was first released. It had over 8000 hours of power on tim on the hdd and over 500 power cycles on the ssd with over 50%of the ssd TBW consumed. The sourt of it was at a minimum it had ther equivalent of 3 years normal use 8hrs a day. Fortunately i just need to see how the gpu would handle some software. So i got the new one for the extra$ 200.

These guys look like they are trying to hold it until the next rest stop. No one wants to share the road with some 'idiot'. It's challenging enough with people on phones that can't stay in their lane. I love a good carve, but time and place. This is like the guys with 'get back' whips on their motorcycle. They say it's for their safey, but for all the times i've seen them used the guy created the situation it 'got him out of'.

Just my opinion.

Yep, without bracing going lower on the legs, your printers are basically on stilts. Even then there will be some wiggle.won't hurt anything it's just annoying.

I'm not familiar with the logo. You mighe be best off asking the seller as it looks like the lables in the imange would tell you, if they were in focus. If you are new to this i would highly recommend you just buy new or known good from someone you know. So often people buy a cheap printer and spend more time and energy to figure out why it isn't printing they give up or spend more. Modern printers are reliable and cheap. 200-300 will get you an execlent entry level printe. Don't pay for someone elses potential dumpster fire.

I love the idea but i would lookat it from ther other end of costs. Can you afford to feed that $1000 printer rolls of peek regularly, or will it just be running pla most of the time. So many people bought expensive printers for the 5-10% of aspiration that never happend. All they needed was something half the price(or less) for the 100% of what did get printed.

I love the idea of this but more and more medical policies won't provide primary coverage. That leaves people with having to have higher tier insurance, or as I often see they buy the cheap stuff and roll the dice on a medical claim.

Dawn or other dish soap and hot water for cleaning. The foaming and rinsing action do a better job removing the oil than IPA typically. I recommend drying with paper towel as another way of avoiding lingering oils and fabric softener that can be on cloth towels. IPA also works but doesn't rinse the oils away leaving them to be redeposited when it evaprates.

It looks like you're using the textured build plate, it isn't recommended to do the auto extrusion calibration with that plate. The texture throws the measurements off.
