A week ago I was printing things for my friends when suddenly my nozzle just fucking crashed out of nowhere into my pei bed and now it is ruined, I removed the pei bed, and installed my glass one that I had for several years, in the process of removing my magnetic sheet, my 3 solid petg spring replacers just MELTED.

I WAS OUT OF PETG, I ORDERED PETG, I DID ALL I CAN TO GET MY BED LEVELLED ENOUGH TO PRINT WITH ABL...

AND... IT... WOULD.... NOT.... STICK (Can you tell I'm angry right now?) AND! Whenever I restarted the print with different temperatures, glue, not glue ettc... It just maded a mess around my nozzle, I cleaned my bed too.

I am so done right now...

BTW THIS IS a troubleshooot request, I have no way to make my bed level right now...

Ask me for anything

Yep. I ended up giving mine away when I wasn't able to get it to print consistently. That was the second 3d printer I gave away because they're more trouble than they're worth (at least the kits are).

I'm not sure if I'll get another in the future. Maybe a pre-assembled Prusa.

That sucks, but I hold on to my ender 3 as:

1: It is my first 3d printer 2: I have it for over 2 yrs 3: It was a present 4: I really can't afford a new one. Even at a 100buck 5: I LOVE tinkering 6: With some tinkering it works a bit so I can print the missing parts, tomorrow I will try to MacGyver something to at least make it print.
