A week ago I was printing things for my friends when suddenly my nozzle just fucking crashed out of nowhere into my pei bed and now it is ruined, I removed the pei bed, and installed my glass one that I had for several years, in the process of removing my magnetic sheet, my 3 solid petg spring replacers just MELTED.

I WAS OUT OF PETG, I ORDERED PETG, I DID ALL I CAN TO GET MY BED LEVELLED ENOUGH TO PRINT WITH ABL...

AND... IT... WOULD.... NOT.... STICK (Can you tell I'm angry right now?) AND! Whenever I restarted the print with different temperatures, glue, not glue ettc... It just maded a mess around my nozzle, I cleaned my bed too.

I am so done right now...

BTW THIS IS a troubleshooot request, I have no way to make my bed level right now...

Ask me for anything

Damn you're lucky about getting the bed flattened out! I have one of the original Ender 3 Pro models from the beginning of 2019, everybody at the time was getting warped beds. I know a lot of people got into using an ABL for that very reason but I suffered through and got mine to within about 0.02mm. We do what we can and it really didn't take much to fix, so I never considered it a real "issue" with the printer. Still would be nice to figure out a way I could mount a dremel to the head and slowly mill the bed flat. I have a G10 bed now, a lot softer so this is actually a possibility it I ever remove the magnetic sheet.
