  "slug": "bed_adhesion",
  "useCase": "troubleshooting",
  "useCaseLabel": "Troubleshooting",
  "updated": "2026-10-15",
  "shortAnswer": "Wash the build plate with dish soap (IPA alone often leaves residue), set Z-offset so the first layer squashes evenly, slow the first layer, use the bed temperature from your filament's catalog row, and add glue stick for PETG, ABS, ASA, and nylon.",
  "recommendedMaterials": [
    "pla",
    "petg",
    "abs",
    "asa"
  ],
  "printerConsiderations": [
    "Re-level and reset Z offset before you change filament. A first layer that is too high looks like a material that will not stick.",
    "Slow the first layer. This cluster does not publish a millimeters-per-second value.",
    "Compare the row's bed maximum with the printer's maximum bed. A 90–110 °C (194–230 °F) ABS row does not fit a bed that cannot reach 90 °C (194 °F)."
  ],
  "pros": [
    "The fix is split by material. A PLA soap wash and an ABS warp are different failures.",
    "Every bed number in the table is the catalog cell for that spool."
  ],
  "cons": [
    "The Reddit bank's caveats field for this cluster is empty. This page does not invent an extra caveat.",
    "The cluster mixes PLA that will not stick with ABS that warps. One bed temperature does not cover both."
  ],
  "community": "The editorial summary is to clean the plate with dish soap, set Z offset, slow the first layer, and use the correct bed temperature, with glue stick for PETG, ABS, and nylon. A comment on the Ender thread says soap, water, and a fresh level fixed a plate that had stopped sticking. The bank records no caveat string. Threads in the cluster include PLA first-layer trouble and an ABS warp photo. Those are kept apart below.",

      "a": "No. Bambu PLA Basic lists a bed of 35–45 °C (95–113 °F). Bambu PETG HF lists 65–75 °C (149–167 °F). Bambu ABS and Bambu ASA each list 90–110 °C (194–230 °F). Use the row for the spool you loaded. Glue stick is the extra step for PETG, ABS, ASA, and nylon."
