Topic: .1mm prints won't stick but .3mm will.

It's a very strange problem: .1mm prints won't stick but .3mm will. And the .3mm prints stick VERY strongly. I've tried using a brim.

On the rare occasion that they do stick the print's edges curl up around the nozzle. They don't peel off from the bed though, the extruded plastic just curls upward.

Using a glass bed with hairspray at 100c.  205c extrusion temperature.


Also: Slicer is ignoring temperature settings and is just defaulting to 200c, even if I change the default temperature. So I'm having to pause prints right at the start to set the temperature higher.

Yap that is because the bed is calibrated for 0.3 you need to calibrate it for 0.1.

at least for me each time I pass through  one or the other I have to level the bed accordingly.

Yep. You think it wouldn't matter since the first layer is supposed to be .3mm in both cases. =o\

Still having problems with the temperature settings in filaments not being obeyed.
