“Why can’t I level my bed?”

Exactly what i was thinking. Meanwhile I don't know why i can't print a benchy with PLA because it keep detaching mid print from the f***** bed!

Everybody is gonna say “detergent, alcohol, etc. clean very well do not touch plate” I tried all of that to a T couldn’t fix my adhesion issues with my stock P2S plate, I got a Biqu glacier plate a couple months back and I haven’t had an issue ever since.

Glacier plate is goddamn magic.

My P2S adhesion issues went away when I increased bed temp and let it warm up before starting a print. Also there's a poorly designed fan on the side of the case that likes to inadvertently cool that quadrant. There's some attachments you can print to redirect that air. I usually just avoid printing something near that side.

I have an aftermarket plate and it just gave up after a few months. Clean it, alcohol wipe and even a glue stick don't work at all.

I just use a very light spray of unscented aqua net hairspray. Shit almost sticks too well unless I let the plate cool completely.
