You can see where around corners and even some straight runs it is peeling up. I'm running first layer at an agonizing 15 mm/s. Using hatchbox pla filament, just dried in dehydrator. 200° nozzle and 70° bed. The glass is freshly cleaned with soap and water, I just did several atomic pulls, I've trammed at different heights using a feeler gauge, and absolutely nothing is working. Any one have any ideas?

The cleaning is pretty easy for me.

My method was hair spray on bed before printing. After print is done, take the glass off and put it in the freezer for under 1 minute. Take it out and the print slides off the glass with ease. Then take some dish soap and rub it all over both sides of the glass. Use a steel wool “sponge” on each side and run under warm water.

Be sure to have something over the drain as a strainer as the hair spray turns into a slime like wet spider webs and wouldn’t be good to go down the drain. Just take it out and put in trash when done.

Then you’re ready for your next print.
