Hy guys. Recently I bought a K8200 3D printer and I finished the assemble yesterday. Today I had configure it by the manual. Then the printing started and the first layer did not stick to the heat bed. My printer is a full stock yet, and I set everything like it was written in the manual. Please guys help me.
Make sure the bed is clean.
I use rubbing alcohol.
I have found the more you clean the stock bed the better it will stick.
Set the temp to 60C
If you see the perimeter coming up adjust the Z axis down a little by hand counter clock wise (just a little at a time)
I hope this helps.
Try a glue stick! Works great and is water-soluble, you can easily wash it off.

Another great improvement could be adding “borders” or “brim” in your Slicer. That way the printer will lay down a wider first layer around your objects, so there is a larger surface. The “borders” can simply be removed after printing.
The stock heat bed should be sanded to improve adhesion.
The distance between nozzle and bed often is set too big. So after the print has started turn the z-axis rod by hand as Wrong Way suggested. Watch carefully how the molten filament is printed onto the bed surface: The string should be slightly pressed onto the bed. If this helps, you could adjust the z-screw to make changes permanent.
happy printing

This shouldn’t happen. Make sure the CTN is well positioned in the tiny hole on the hot end. If the filament is melting in the PTFE barrel it most likely means it is too hot.
And also that the hot end is correctly powered down when the print is ending
