Print failed because the layer adhesion is shit on my printer.
I have a 3rd party version of the Ender3; I just use glue stick on the surface to make it tacky and it comes off just fine with the scraper.
How do you even level an Ender? I have an elegoo neptune printer so the leveling is different. I was trying to print with an Ender and couldn’t find a good guide. All of them told me to twist the screw things at the bottom but the gap is way too large for it to be fixed that way.
I’m late to the party but I use a WhamBam build surface on my Ender 3 V2. Absolutely a game changer. Wipe it down with high-percent isopropanol or acetone between prints and it works every time. Sticks like glue when hot and just pops off with zero effort once it cools down.

Thanks, I was considering what to make for dinner, and spaghetti it shall be!
If printing PLA, put a brine (salt solution) on your bed. PLA bonds with salt when warmed up (heated bed) and loses its bond when cooled off.
Is this legit? Or are you making a spaghetti joke? I actually can’t tell lol
Here’s a scientific paper about it. :) https://medialibrary.uantwerpen.be/oldcontent/container11343/files/bonding_pla_with_salt_water_v20160713.pdf
A brine is a much cleaner solution than the usual advices of hairspray or tape. Just be careful not to put salt on your electronics.
