By a recommendation, I have placed a piece of paper under the bed of the printer!
And that made a big difference.
When Calibrating the build plate of the printer!
See, the bed of the printer tends to bowl downward!
So, by placing a piece of paper!
Under the build plate.
Now the plate is true!
And it's not warped!
I have calibrated the build plate many times!
And now after placing a simple piece of paper!
Under the Build plate.
My 3D prints come out better printed!
Thanks,
For the Recommendation to Martin555!
It worked just a treat!
I have the Creality 3 3D printer!
I had purchased 1 roll of Filament from Creality!
This roll must be a bit old as the Filament tends to brake very easily!
So, I had ordered Filament from another source!
But, When trying to use this new Filament.
It wouldn't stick to the Hot Bed!
So, I've emailed that company about it's Filament not sticking to the Hot Bed!
Oh, I had to order some more Filament from Creality!
I recommend sticking to the name brand of Filament!
Because when you deviate from brands.
You tend to pay for it!
I've only been tinkering with this 3D Printer now for about 3-4 week now!
There is a lot to learn!
There's also a lot to do!
It's not just Plug and Play!
The extruder (Nozzle) needs to be at the right temp!
It has to be a 200 degrees Celsius!
Now the build bed is at 50 degrees Celsius!
But, I've learned to raise the build bed temp to 55 degrees Celsius!
Some PLA's (Plastic) Act differently!
Oh, When you purchase your PLA.
Look at the reel!
It may have the recommended temp written on it!
I was discussing with Martin555.
What is the CR in CR-PLA or What is MH in MH-PLA!
Martin figured out it's like a branding of the Filaments!
CR-PLA is actually (Creality) PLA!
Like MH-PLA is (MatterHackers) PLA
But, not all PLA's are branded! I think!

As you use your 3D printer.
You may notice that sometimes.
What you are printing.
Doesn't stick to the build plate!
I saw this happen with a figure I was trying to print!
I was told I could use Hairspray!
You take the Hairspray and spray the build plate with it!
So, I went out and purchased some Hairspray!
And yes, I sprayed the build plate twice!
I let it dry between coats!
I started a print, and it failed miserably!
So, I did a Google search?
And found (Nano Polymer Adhesive)!
It's expensive But, does the job!
I spread some as directed!
Onto the Build plate!
Let it dry for about 2 minutes!
Started my print and it worked!
The Printed figure stayed on the build plate!
So, this Nano Polymer Adhesive does work!
I recommend it!

Breaking Filament!
Well, I got in contact with Banggood!
Told them how the filament.
I had purchased kept on breaking.
It would even break two and three times!
Anyway they were very understanding!
Even othered a refund!
So, have received the refund!
Will get the money in about three days time!
But, in the mean time.
Have started to purchase my filament.
From other sources!
Hi All,
I have a question?
For any one who has started to do 3D Printing?
Well, there is the regular print bed and then there is magnetic and there is also the glass bed!
Which is the best to use?
I'm using the stock bed!
But, I would like to know what you think?
Which bed is better?
Hi Marky,
The magnetic bed is a two part system.
One magnetic part glues to the bed base and the second magnetic part then magnetically attaches to the first part.
It is just to make things easer to clear and remove the printed parts.
I'm currently using Filament from a company called.
Matter Hackers they sell all sorts of Filament!
I ordered some white PLA to replace.
Some white PLA I had ordered from Banggood!
Which kept on snapping most likely old stock!
As I and Martin555 had spoken about it!
And Martin555 helped me to realize.
It has to be old stock!
Anyway, I had looked on the Matter Hacker website.
But, They did have just regular White PLA!
So, I ordered some "Raised3D Premium PLA"!
Which, has to be heated to 210 Degrees Celsius!
But, as you use it after about 2 hours or so!
It let off a very bad smell!
I had to leave the area!
And I turned on my Air Conditioner!
This helped to circulate the air in the room!
This is the first time this happens!
But, I have heard of this happening to others.
Who use 3D printers!
I have had to switch back to the PLA that was Snapping!
Also this PLA is used at 200 Degrees Celsius!
And does not smell!

Benchy is a test print of a boat!
So, I printed it but to my surprise.
It didn't print out currently the first time!
I had used Ultimaker Cura!
But, I had one setting wrong!
The Support placement was incorrect!
So, I set it for Touching Build Plate!
And that helped!
As you can see the Print that's in White PLA.
Has Support inside the Pilot House!
That's wrong!
But, after changing the the setting to Touching Build Plate!
It was then Correct!
As you can see from the Orange PLA Print!
It's amazing how one little setting can change the outcome of a print!

The wife see's I can now do 3D printing!
So she asked me to print an Angel for her!
I found the Angel on Thingyverse!
But, there's a problem with this little Angel!
When you go to print it.
It print to a size of about 10mm tall!
So, using Cura I was able to increase.
It's size to to 60mm tall!
Which was great!
But, As this little Angel is very narrow!
It tends to come off the Build Plate!
So, I used some Nano Polymer Adhesive from Vision Miners!
This glue did help to keep the Angel from coming off the Build Plate!
Having used the Nano Polymer Adhesive.
I was successful in printing this little Angel!
Sometimes you need help with the Build sticking to the Build Plate!
Nano Polymer Adhesive helped me!!!

Hi All,
I had a very bad head cold.
So wasn't up to printing at all!
But, I have gotten over my cold!
It took about three weeks!
But, I'm over it at last!
Now back for some 3D Printing!
Rick
You said it!
They do have a mind of there own!
I'm just the over seer!
All, I do is feed it Filament!
