I have a Kobra 2 and am having g nothing but headaches. It’ll print great for like four prints and then just completely shit the bed. Filament won’t stick to the plate and pops right off and just now while auto leveling the thing drilled into the bed. Was I duped into a shit product?
Man I’ve heard too high too low too hot not hot enough I think this printer is just shit
You just need to learn how to properly set up and adjust a 3D printer. No matter what printer you have, you're going to have to learn how to diagnose and troubleshoot problems if you want good prints. 3D printing isn't the kind of hobby where everything just magically works all the time out of the box.
You also haven't given any actual info or pictures, so no one can really help you.
Everywhere I look just says “go to prepare > and auto level and you’re done” Where do you go to find information on how to set up and diagnose problems?
