Many Creality Ender 3 V3 Se 3d Printer users have reported experiencing frustrating issues with bed adhesion shortly after purchase. Initially, the printer may perform exceptionally well, delivering prints at impressive speeds. However, after a brief period, often just a couple of weeks, users find that PLA filament no longer adheres to the print bed, leading to print failures. This problem persists despite common troubleshooting steps and upgrades.
One user shared their experience, highlighting a rapid shift from successful prints to complete adhesion failure. Using standard Creality PLA settings of 200°C nozzle and 60°C bed temperature, they encountered a sudden inability for the first layer to stick. Despite attempting numerous fixes, including following online tutorials and upgrading components, the problem remained unresolved.
The user systematically tried various troubleshooting methods to address the Creality Ender 3 V3 SE bed adhesion problem, including:
- Automatic Bed Leveling: Repeated attempts at automatic bed leveling failed to resolve the adhesion issue, suggesting the problem was not simply related to bed flatness.
- Firmware Upgrade: Updating the firmware to version 1.0.6 also did not improve bed adhesion, indicating the issue was likely not firmware-related.
- Manual Bed Leveling: Meticulous manual bed leveling was performed, yet the PLA still failed to stick, ruling out basic leveling errors.
- Crystal Bed Upgrade: Switching to a Creality Crystal Bed, a popular upgrade for improved adhesion, also did not solve the problem, suggesting a more fundamental issue.
- Nozzle Replacement: Replacing the nozzle with a spare new one made no difference, eliminating nozzle wear as a potential cause.
- E-Steps Calibration: Calibrating the extruder steps (E-steps) for accurate filament extrusion did not improve bed adhesion, indicating that under-extrusion was not the primary factor.
- Axis Adjustments: Following Creality’s official after-sales video tutorial to adjust the printer axes also proved ineffective.
- Screw and Eccentric Adjustments: Checking and adjusting all screws and eccentric nuts to ensure proper printer assembly and stability did not resolve the bed adhesion problem.
Despite all these efforts, the PLA filament continues to stick to the nozzle but fails to adhere to the print bed. This persistent issue transforms a promising Creality Ender 3 V3 SE 3D printer into a non-functional device, causing significant frustration for users seeking reliable 3D printing performance.
