Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

I've run into adhesion problems when the room gets colder.
works 99% of the time, but when ambient temp goes below 70°F everything starts failing.
Interesting. All of my prints that failed were running overnight when the temperature dropped.
What temps are you running your bed at?
Either 65°C or 70°C
PLA?
Yes
Shouldn't be an issue then, even when cooler. how's the adhesion of what's left on the plate?
Yeah, in some parts of the world, a box surrounding the printer isn't really a luxury.
Haven't had problems since I upgraded.
Controlling temperature is important on FDM.
