How It Works

First layer adhesion is the #1 cause of print failures. Key factors: bed temperature, surface cleanliness (IPA wipe), first layer speed (slow = better), and squish (slightly over-squished first layer helps). PETG bonds permanently to smooth PEI — use textured PEI or glue stick as release agent. ABS/ASA need enclosed printers.
