adhesion

if I print small things it works fine when I print anything else the extruded  filament does not stick to the bed and I cant understand why

Welcome @frankiepro64,

• Can you please post a video or photo after your first layer is printed - even for a small part?
• How are you levelling your bed?
• I have bed adhesion tips on the wiki too: https://jgaurorawiki.com/a5/bed-adhesion

if you are using cura, the first layer hight by default is WAY too small. Try upping your first layer height to 0.2 or even 0.27 then go to your favorite layer thickness. (Mine is usually 0.14 or 0.12)

Also try upping the first layer extrusion width to 125% or so. This will pump out more filament and be more likely to stick.

And always make sure you are using the proper bed and nozzle temperature for the filament.

This all assumes you have a good leveled bed.
