Prusa 1 down

Prusa 1 is down due to losing its calibration again.

Also I am getting absolutely no adhesion to the heatbed because the Prusas are an excessively expensive piece of shit.

Did you try cleaning the bed? Actually cleaning it, not just wiping it down with alcohol?

Thoroughly. I washed both sides with warm water and a bit of dish soap.

That’s actually what Prusa recommends.

Someone was running the calibration on Prusa 1 and 2 this evening and issues with those machines should be resolved.

Yes the printer should be working again.

yup, I printed something yesterday on it.

The satin powder coated plate for abs. I very rarely get any adhesion at all regardless of how I clean it and regardless of any other factor. It is just an overpriced piece of crap that needs to be replaceable with an actually good printer.

This response is not kind or helpful. Many people have good luck with all 5 of our printers. If you have something constructive to say, that would be more helpful.

What is there constructive to say about a printer that doesn’t work……

I just want my prints to work and 9/10 times my prints fail.
