STLBEAST Hub Guide

Bed adhesion that actually holds

Good adhesion starts before the print begins. The surface must be clean, the bed must be level, and the first layer must bond consistently.

Start with the fast checks

If prints fail early, focus on bed condition, Z offset, and first-layer speed before changing complex profile values.

Clean the bed using a method safe for your surface.
Confirm bed leveling or mesh compensation is active.
Adjust Z offset until lines connect without scraping.
Use brim or adhesive help only when geometry or material needs it.
Free preview guidance is intentionally limited. Beast Vault is where full AI Doctor paths, deeper slicer/profile support, and saved workflows belong.

Likely causes

Dirty bedOils and dust reduce grip.
Nozzle too highFilament does not press into the surface enough.
Nozzle too lowFilament is scraped, blocked, or uneven.
Material mismatchDifferent materials need different surface and temperature choices.

Quick FAQ

Is glue a bad idea?

No. It can be useful, but it should not hide major Z offset or bed cleanliness problems.

Why does only one side fail?

Leveling, mesh, airflow, or surface contamination may vary across the bed.

Can PETG stick too hard?

Yes. PETG can bond aggressively to some surfaces, so use the right bed surface and spacing.
