I am trying to print the top plate upper 1B and having real problems using my Prusa printer.
The PLA will not stick. Has anyone done this successfully and can help me with the settings in order to make my one work.
any advice gratefully received.

Hi,
I know this is a few months late but...
Generally when something won't stick to the MK3S steel sheet it's because I've gotten my finger prints all over it. If isopropyl alcohol won't clean the spring steel sheet adequately, give it a good wash with some plain dish soap. Make sure it dries and then don't ever touch the surface again :-) Once it's mostly dry, you can put it on the heat bed and crank the heat up to give it an even better dry.
The new satin steel sheets are awesome too. I picked one up and I'll never go back.
Oh and I forgot to mention, z-levelling is important, look up the nylock bed mod if you can't get a good level.
Will try!
Hello, and Yes I think I can help! For large long prints use Green FROG Tape from amazon. The PLA sticks to this stuff like glue and has never failed me yet. I now use it on all my printers where big parts are required usually taking a couple of days.
The Glass is great for small quick prints when it's clean, but if you have issues, Frog tape is the way ahead. It just works!
Kind regards Karl
