Hello everyone,

I'm new to 3d printing and recently purchased a secondhand Ender 3 pro and have some troubles getting it to print.

The problem I have is that the filament doesn't stick to the bed but builds up on the nozzle. I tried a few things already but I can't get it to work.

The things I tried already:

- Manually level the bed.

- Updated the firmware (Marlin 1.1.2) so that i can use the 3d Touch sensor for auto levelling. And set the Z-offset.

- Cleaned the glass bed with hot soap and water.

- Tried different nozzle and bed temperatures.

- Added G29 to the start g-code so that auto levelling is applied but all that does is moving the head a good 10 cm above the bed and trying to level it from there.

Next to the filament not sticking to the bed I have some other issue. It seems that the prints are not centered on the bed. There was an issue that the purge line was no on the bed but a few mm to the left. I could fix that in Cura by adjusting the start G-Code. But this looks like a bigger issue since my prints aren't centered.

Could someone please help me with the problems I have.

Thanks in advance. 😄
