Repair sequence

Step completion

1
Document the failure and confirm that it matches this guide: Prints slide, lift, or bond unevenly on a glass build surface.Not completed
2
Return extreme overrides to a known printer, nozzle, material, and slicer profile so the diagnosis starts from a stable baseline.Not completed
3
Check invisible residue. Degrease the glass.Not completed
4
Check temperature gradient. Check temperature across the plate.Not completed
5
Inspect z offset mismatch. Recalibrate Z offset.Not completed
6
Rule out material needs an interface layer. Use the material-approved interface.Not completed
7
Change only the single setting or hardware condition supported by the evidence, then run a small test that reproduces the original failure.Not completed
8
Compare the test against the target condition, record the successful value, and save it in a printer/material profile before repeating the full print.Not completed

Verification test

Model: Single-layer five-zone test
Setup: Use the final plate, material, mesh and first-layer profile.
Pass: Lines join evenly in the centre and corners, with no scraping, gaps or lifting.
If unchanged: One or more zones remain loose, transparent, ridged or detached.

Matched next step

Fix the first layer, then print something worth keeping.

Use the free calibration path, save the settings that worked, and explore the Characters & Creatures collection that includes Bed Leveling Gremlin.
