First 3d printer - Ender 3 pro
PekkaNF:
Got Creality slicer workking....it looks like it is based on cura. Downloaded bed level test and scaled it down to more close to bed size in the slicer. First try showed that the bbed was not leveled. Second print came out ok, on bed level but still had some issues. I think I am downloading cura and try that.
Bed is now leveled, but X/Y size is off. 100 mm according to slicer and 110 mm according to mr. Mitutoyo

I've also taken to using glue stick on every print, I'm really having trouble with bed adhesion otherwise.

Do you have the glass bed?

Yep - I find the glass bed is worse for adhesion than the standard bed.... and that's even after I've given it a good washing down, first with alcohol, then with hot soapy water, then with plain water... It will grab PLA, most of the time, PETG was a disaster. Using the gluestick however, and everything stays thoroughly welded down... to the point sometimes of being difficult to remove!

Glue stick with glass? Have been tempted to try it....

It works brilliantly - just make sure you cover the bits you're going to print on! I can usually get away without it with PLA, but it was essential (even with a raft) when I tried PETG.
PekkaNF:
I was checking PETG extruder and bed temperature...
Bed temperature is no problem, but does it stick too hard on the bed? Tried to get some tips, but mostly got harspray or blue masking tape on glas plate ....but Ender 3 has this magnetic mystery plate that works for PLA, but PETG sticks everything like there is no tomorow - I have heard.
Looks like hot end max temperature of the stock Ender 3 Pro printer is bit marginal for PETG. But what is needed?
How much of of the good stuf is too much?
