My apologies, that room temperature is around 25° f, which is -4c. It's very cold.
I just performed a cold pull, seemed to go okay, it was my first one. I feel like the majority of my problems here is simply trying to print when it's so damn cold outside lol
Edit: The cold pull definitely seemed to completely solve my first layer issues, great suggestion. I threw a blanket over the next print, we'll see if that helps
yeah. so, what's your enclosure like? is it fully enclosed? one of those tent-thingies?
I'd suggest considering some type of insulation. Blankets work- if it's MDF or mealmine or plywood, stappling them inside. If... insulation is problem... Blankets over a big-enough cardboard box work (just be aware of melting/fire risks. Cotton>synthetics. card board is okay. my old I3 prusa had cardboard under the heat bed instead of cork or neoprene for a long time. Try to keep it small enough to just fit everything inside. (cut the top flaps off and put it over upside down.)
The heat bed should be good enough to get it most the way there- and if you find it takes too long to heat up the inside... a heat gun can prime things nicely.
Yep, it's the official creality enclosure. I threw a quilt over it, so here goes
-4c is extreemly cold, get thermometer inside of enclosure and leave your heatbed on until it reaches 10-15C before you start printing. Even better get enclosure heater. Id also bump nozzle temp to the highest marked on your spool.
