New to printing and need some info
hello all,
So as it says in the title im completely new to 3D printing. i have a few simple custom "maker coins" that i have been toying with and printing on my Prusia i3 mk2 S, and im running into a few problems that i was hoping to get some help with. First and foremost since im still working with the sample PLA that was sent with the printer i keep having problems with the print staying stuck to the print surface. i have had several instances of these coins curling up at the edges or coming off completely and just sliding around the print surface. this issue is only compounded when i attempt to print more than one of these coins at a time. I would greatly appreciate any and all tips and tricks to get the prints to adhere better. I would also like any information i can get on printing with Delrin material, i believe it is called, from what i have read it seems like a very high quality material that i would love to use for making products like deck boxes or miniatures for the players that frequent the store i work at. Id also like to work on printing prop replica items to wear to and or sell at conventions. i know its a lot to ask in one post but any and all information would be appreciated. i may not be on here as often as i would like so feel free to message me directly, if you reach out to me on skype please let me know where you found my contact info or i will block you as spam. thank you so much everyone.

well first you need to give us some info.
What slicer are you using ?
What surface are you printing on ?
What speed and temperature are you printing at ?
And one of the most important things - what speed are you printing your first layer at ?

the provided Prusa Slic3r software
the standard surface that comes with a Prusa i3 mk2 S, i actually dont know what its called because its a thick layer of something that prusa puts on their headed metal print bed.
speed is set to basic 100 on the system, as for like unit's/second i have no clue. i dont even know where to look for that. temp is 215 at nozzle and 55 on the bed
again i have no clue how to get this info. i litterally started doing this in the past month because it was an amazing looking hobby and becaue id like to be able to make stuff for players at the shop i work at.

i have been keeping up with the cleaning between attempts, but the plate is fixed. id have to adjust the nozzle closer to the plate and while this system does have a live adjust Z system im not sure i can get the nozzle much closer to the plate without it starting to scrape the plate itself. i have done everything that is talked about in the prusa tutorials online so im wondering if there is something im missing. maybe something to do with the type of pla i have or instead of pla would a different material have better surface adhesion?
