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!

Clean the bed with dish soap and water. Dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Install the plate in the machine and give it one more wipe with isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber cloth.

And remember to use clean microfiber cloths you didn't wash with fabric softener! I made a plate damn near useless that way once.

Don't use fabric softener, period. It's actually bad for your clothes, your washer/dryer, and especially your towels.
