Hello đđź I am new to 3D printing and have recently purchased an Ender 3 V2. I have set up everything and have checked it twice to ensure that everything should print correctly but I am having trouble even getting a test print down. My trouble seems to be coming with the very first layer not wanting to stick to the brand new bed at all. I have watched multiple videos and have leveled the bed, most recently the exact way that DrVax has suggested. At first my X carriage was significantly un-level but after loosening the screws on the bottom of the base I was able to correct that and level the bed again but still no luck with the test prints sticking.
Now i dont know if the wasnât the smartest thing to do but I decided right off the bat I was going to upgraded the extruder to aluminum and replace the bed springs with stronger compression springs and metal hand knobs. Was this a mistake before making my first test print?? Should I take these off and try again?
Also the only other two issues that I have noticed is that my glass bed came with a weird looking film over the top (looks like itâs supposed to be there) however, it is very poorly cut around the edges and have many spots that overhang the glass. The other thing that I notice happens constantly is the nozzle is leaking filament every time the nozzle is heated up. Iâve taken the whole hot end apart and have used DrVaxâs suggestions on cleaning and unclogging it and have still had no luck.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG PLEASE HELP
I have spent at least 8 hours total leveling and adjust the entire printer to make sure itâs perfect and Iâm just not having any luck at all
