Topic: Broken heatbed?

Hello,

I am new to this forum, and I hope that your can help me out with this problem.

Basic information:
- Da Vinci 1.0 pro
- 3rd party ABS
- XYZprint V1.2.6

My prints won't stick to my printbed anymore. Yes I use Kapton and glue and I tried with and without the glass bed.
I have calibrated automaticly and by hand and I have unclogged the nozzle completely by taking it apart.

I have noticed that heating up the printbed takes longer every time. Now even 5 - 10 min.
But it will reach the 90' eventualy. 

Who can help me out with this one?

Steffen.

Re: Broken heatbed?

Just a shot in the dark but have you reached in to verify the heat bed is getting warm at all?  At 90 C you don't want to directly touch it, but you can hold your hand near it to feel for the heat.

Otherwise try the usual things:
- clean the bed with alcohol
- re-calibrate yet again
- hairspray, glue stick, abs slurry, etc
- use a brim
- play with the first layer height, going a little lower or higher may help. This one is critical on my miniMaker since I don't have a heat bed.
- watch and make sure something is not knocking the print off on accident.
