Added a PEI plate for my Artillery Genius using bull clips, and after leveling the leveling/adhesion test print comes out like this. Is this just me leveling the bed too close to the nozzle, or is it the pei plate not heating up as much as the original glass bed? It’s at 60c btw
I usually have to run mine between 62-65, kinda depends how cold my house is but that’s the same bed I have on my sovols, also get a playing card and make sure you can barely feel the nozzle on the surface of the card. That’s how I do mine
The default glass bed works perfectly at 60. I’m wondering if there’s a temperature difference between the glass plate below and the pei plate above.
Honestly it looks like the nozzle could be too hot cause I don’t see any consisten lines
To test this you could heat the bed up for 10 or 15 minutes before starting the print so that the new PEI sheet gets saturated with heat. I don’t think this is your issue though as you can print PLA without a heated bed at all.
slightly off topic:
do you have the bed start at e.g. 60 for the first layer and then 65 for subsequent layers?
does raising the temperature mid print like this help with warping or something?
I start at 62(and stay there) that’s the magic number i found for my sovol 6 and 6 plus, at lower I would experience warping and bad bed adhesion. And I’ve had the same correlation with mine at home and the 3 I have at work
