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.

    Manged to get an ender 3V2 a few years ago, auto bed levelling is a must have feature if you intend to spend more time using your printer than calibrating or fixing it. After that masking tape fixes all adhesion problems.

      I eventually turned off auto bed leveling because it just doesn’t help much. You still have to manually level the bed, and the correction it adds is kinda negligible. At least the BL Touch does help with the manual leveling process.

      I must have been lucky with my Ender 3 - I only leveled it every few weeks or less. Very solid printer, had it 5 years.
