    Apart from the usual bed cleaning tips it’s hard to guess where you are going wrong. Whenever I have problems it comes down to a “greasy” build plate. Simply touching it inbetween prints can make difficult geometries impossible.

    I stick to 99,9% Isopropanol and have a tissue box next to my printer. I wipe down my build plate with a fresh tissue + alcohol before every print and have yet to see that method fail. It works great with PLA (60°C bed) but for PETG (80° bed) the alcohol evaporates too quickly. In the latter case I do the wipe down before reaching target temperature.
