I clean (I mean REALLY clean) the glass with ammonia-free glass cleaner. Not Windex -types of cleaners, as they leave a film.
I spray a LIGHT coat of Aqua Net, let it completely dry, then spray an...
Did you replace the nozzle and heat break when you switched from ABS to PLA?
Sounds like crappy filament; Curious Aardvark is absolutely right that good quality filament is important.
You're at...
For PLA, I would back the nozzle temp down to 185-195 C; bed temp of 40 C, and NO cooling the print.
For a small print (less than 2" x 2") reduce the nozzle temp another 3-8 degrees after the first...
It looks like 3dp11 is the Hic Technologies' (manufacturer) part number for the 3d printer.
The 3d community here is really awsome; post a picture of the circuit board. I'm sure it's one of only...
If I'm not too late to throw in my 2-cents' worth:
If your extruder is clicking, then 1). your nozzle is too close to the previous layer and is blocking the filament from extruding, or, 2) you're...
Justinbxr:
Nice tool.
Placing it far enough before the end of a reel of filament would be important.
Also, (for me with high frequency hearing loss) if the tone was adjustable to something...
Canadabear07:
Somewhere in your slicer (I use slic3r), there is likely a setting for 'seam position'.
It looks like your seam position is set to 'aligned'; this starts each layer at the same...

Are the plans/instructions/BOM for your vacuum dryer available. I wouold be interested, as I'm sure would others. Thanks. Wes
FYI:
I print PLA at 180-190 (depending on the overall size of the print) on a glass bed with hairspray as my 'glue'. Bed temp is 40, altho, I likely don't need it.
Could it be moisture in the...
Ron:
I had a very similar failure. If you still need an idea, look for a faulty stepper driver on the RAMPS 1.4 board that is triggering the firmware to declare a 'Max Temp' error. I narrowed my...
