    I recently switched out my hot end for an e3dv6 and uploaded the firmware. I am having a very hard time getting the pla to stick to my hot bed now, despite trying different hotbed temperatures from 50 degrees to 70 degrees along with using hairspray. I have a Robo 3D R1 plus printer with Autobed leveling. The first layer seems to hold for a bit, but once it gets to the 3rd or 4th layer it pulls away from the bed. I noticed the Zaxis used to be - 0.07 and now is 0.00. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

    Set your Z offset appropriately?

    The default should be -1.0 in your startup GCode (M565 Z-1.0)

    Experiment with other numbers. More negative (-1.1 for example) is further from the bed and less negative (-0.9 for example) is closer to the bed

    In your slicer. It goes in the startup gcode block. If you use matter control I cant really say exactly where that is but refer to their documentation at wiki.mattercontrol.com
    I dont use it... sorry.
