Comment on Issues with layer adhesion (i think)

My apologies, that room temperature is around 25° f, which is -4c. It’s very cold

yeah. so, what’s your enclosure like? is it fully enclosed? one of those tent-thingies?

I’d suggest considering some type of insulation. Blankets work- if it’s MDF or mealmine or plywood, stappling them inside. If… insulation is problem… Blankets over a big-enough cardboard box work (just be aware of melting/fire risks. Cotton>synthetics. card board is okay. my old I3 prusa had cardboard under the heat bed instead of cork or neoprene for a long time. Try to keep it small enough to just fit everything inside. (cut the top flaps off and put it over upside down.)

The heat bed should be good enough to get it most the way there- and if you find it takes too long to heat up the inside… a heat gun can prime things nicely.

Yep, it’s the official creality enclosure. I threw a quilt over it, so here goes

  -4c is extreemly cold, get thermometer inside of enclosure and leave your heatbed on until it reaches 10-15C before you start printing. Even better get enclosure heater. Id also bump nozzle temp to the highest marked on your spool.

    Ok, so the print came out great. Unfortunately, it was a print without top and bottom layers and honeycomb infill of only about 12%, and I accidentally squished it getting it off that extremely cold bed this morning lol. To the immediate problem I posted above though, I think it was definitely a clogged nozzle which you helped fix, and the layer adhesion is probably due to enclosure temperature being too low when I start the print. I will correct both of those things, and then go watch YouTube on how to remove a print from a cold bed haha

    So, one of the tricks for really stuck on prints, at least for glass beds, is to put it in the freezer and then hold the build plate vertically and tap it on something hard. (Firm, but not so hard it breaks or anything.) my experience in the past is, with some exceptions… it goes in the freezer and pops right off. if bed adhesion is too good, you can try adjusting zoffset to print a little higher.
    
    you can speed warming up the enclosure with a hairdryer or heat gun.
