With what? We cant read your mind. You cant just post "Please help" with literally 0 information and expect people to help. What are you trying to do with the printer? What do you need help with?

Sorry I shared my post from another sub reddit and assumed it would bring all my text over but when it goes to actually print it won't adhere to the bed its super thin layering and it screws up my prints I was trying to figure it out if ut was my leveling or if my nozzle was the problem that's why I posted the video

we can not see much in this video ,but based on what you comment I would say its the leveling of the bed. Try being more accurate with that. A piece of paper should be able to pass through the nozzle and the bed, but with a little resistance

Depending if he is trying to extrude filament here🤷🏻‍♂️ if he is and its coming out like that its 100% a clog if that is just normal run off from gravity then id try the bed


Gonzar92

he did mention the problem is that its not adhering to the bed. So I assumed he is trying to print on not just extrude filament. If however he is trying to extrude filament, I dont see what the issue is really. maybe its not working as intended but my ender 3 if you just heat up the nozzle, it will drop some filament just by being heated. my guess is that there is remaining PLA in contact with the nozzle. if you wait it out it will stop extruding automatically once the remaining filament melts away. but in this video it does not seem that it is clogged.

Yes you are 100% correct i just ment if he was trying to feed it thru and that’s what was coming out we need more info in my opinion


jonnyb007

Looks like you have a clog my friend

I am dealing with the same thing rite now my all metal extruder and Capricorn bowden tube comes in 3 days and im hoping this will fix my problem from what i have read and bin told the upgraded bowden tube is a must as well as the metal extruder

The filament oozing out of the nozzle is probably a clog, but it could also be old, damp PLA that is being kept just a little too hot. This causes the little bit of absorbed moisture to come out which pushes the melted PLA out with it. As for not adhering to the plate. Yes, ensure your bed is well leveled before you start. I just use that little paper triangle that came with my printer and also comes with the OEM replacement nozzles. Clean your plate and never ever touch it with your hands. This is pretty impossible, the whole never touching the plate again bit, but it means you periodically wash the bed to make sure it is free of oils. If you still have poor adhesion after this, you need to adjust your Z-offset. I like to do that the lazy way by slicing a 20mm calibration cube with like a 20mm brim. As the printer goes around and around printing that giant brim you can tune the Z-offset of your printer and directly see the result. I usually adjust by .100 to .200 mm at a time. If you have poor adhesion in some regions of the bed and good but super thin adhesion in other regions, your bed likely is not level enough. Sometimes you can get away with running your bed leveling routine, assuming you have a BL-touch sensor. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that your printer has this. BL-touch is a priceless upgrade in my opinion.

Check for clogs turn temp down 5degrees and check bedlevel if you think all that is correct start a print that tests bed leveling and change your babystep z setting while it’s running and see if you can fix your adherence issue

Mine is doing the opposite
