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

Thank you very much for the effort you put into this comment. In response to the first part: I used a custom printed spacer in petg but it was too thin so it melted... In response to the last thing, my bed WAS warped but (please for the love of god don't ask me how) I managed to unwarp it with my glass bed, now it's like completely flat.

Damn you're lucky about getting the bed flattened out! I have one of the original Ender 3 Pro models from the beginning of 2019, everybody at the time was getting warped beds. I know a lot of people got into using an ABL for that very reason but I suffered through and got mine to within about 0.02mm. We do what we can and it really didn't take much to fix, so I never considered it a real "issue" with the printer. Still would be nice to figure out a way I could mount a dremel to the head and slowly mill the bed flat. I have a G10 bed now, a lot softer so this is actually a possibility it I ever remove the magnetic sheet.
