    Hello-

    I have had my R1 PLUS for roughly a month and a half, and have loved it. My problem is that recently I have been noticing a lot of bubbling on my prints. I have some pictures attached. I have used plenty of glue for adherence, and I have cleaned the whole bed multiple times with some glass cleaner. It goes away after a couple of layers, but the bottom of my prints still have the bubbling.

    Thanks for any help!

    Or z offset is too low and your nozzle is too close to the bed.

    I'm using RoBo 3d brand filament (not the stuff the came with the printer) at 210 with the bed at 60. Do I need to change the bed tempature or do I need to change the offset?

    When I asked what type of filament I meant: PLA? ABS? Nylon? PET? PETG? etc...

    The bed is too hot for PLA.
    PLA is intended for use with a cold bed, but I often print it with some heat to help adhesion. You should never need more than 45-50 on the bed.

    Ok I'll try lowering the bed tempature. I don't usually print that hot, that was just the default in Cura and I forgot to change it. Thanks for all the responses!!

    I print the Robo filament at 188 - just as a metric.
