    printer printing onto the air instead of the plate

    I have a Monoprice MP Select Mini 3D Printer, and I recently got in my filament. I am trying to print a test job, but the printer is not printing onto the plate. it is instead printing into the air. If I make the printer nozzle go lower it resents to a higher position before I print. Please someone help me.

    Recalibrate or relevel the bed. The bed is most likely in a different position than where the printer thinks it is. If not, check your gcode for some instruction causing it to lift. What slicer are you using? There my be a setting wrong there.

    I had slic3r raising my nozzle about 2 mm before every print. I switched to Matter Control. Better interface and consistent prints.

    Try glue stick.

    I'm going to add that to my signature.

    What are you using for adhesive?
