Can't get Filament to stick

[TheresaJayne]

I have a new A10M printer, and whilst its printing perfectly even with the dual in one out setup there are a couple problems.

1) The filament is not sticking to the bed What am I supposed to do I thought the SuperPlate would not require masking tape or pritt stick to make the filament stick.

2) When I want to load/unload filament it always works on the main extruder and even move axis is not moving the second extruder unless I manually Tell it to feed / extract after changing the mix.

Does this mean that I cannot tell my repetier host that I have 2 extruders and i have to treat it like a single colour machine and then use the geeetech colour software to make it work? Is there any firmware update that will allow me to use it as a valid 2 colour printer and manually feed either filament as needed. (I managed to get the dog model to almost print but it came off the bed at about the head area)

Hi, I think you need to check
1. Are you leveling the printer?
2.You can check your configuration file to see if it display above Lcd is 100% and 0%？

For sticking issues, it depends on filament. I have Amazon PLA and it does not stick well. I can get it to stick without any adhesive support, but I have to turn the temp of the nozzle up to 225-235 degrees and the bed to 80 degrees (it may warp print though). I have really good lunch with a glue stick and 205/60 degrees. Hairspray also works ok, but if not careful will end up all over the printer. Level bed and correct z offset are crucial. For mixing, Vert is correct, you will have a hard time getting a Slicer to work correctly. It is easier to use the mixing option on the LCD or Geeetech's color mixing program. Its not impossible to get it somewhat working on Cura, but its a pain.

One thing I recently did was flip the build plate over and am now using the plain glass side. I actually prefer it now.
