It's far from perfect, but it's the first time a first #layer this big is acutally #sticking to the #bed. Now let's see the rest of the bed... #3Dprinting
@gafu @stooovie thanks for the hint, this is useful! In fact, I was able to partially enhance the leveling during the print looking at how "flat" did it appear (I don't know if this is Very Bad Pratice, but at least for this print, it worked!)
In the middle of first layer infill it can be seen more clearly
The wobbly outer line may be an effect of no adhesion only, because the part looks okay.
Iam wondering about the bowed line middle of the part. Do the part have a curved downside oder maybe lay not flat at the build surface in the slicer? This do strongly affect the bed adhesion too.
Well, there is something definitely wrong with either build plate being warped as hell or your printer is not built/tuned properly.
To troubleshoot this I would tram the bed and then print calibration line accross whole bed to figure out what the hell is happening.
According to 1st layer "quality" I also think you have to calibrate extruder for more consistent flow, it seems like not pushing consistently and then skipping for some reason
@schmaker I'll try! As for the extruder, I may know what's the problem... ATM the spool is not aligned with the extruder assembly inlet, because the printer didn't fit in the cabinet and I had to relocate the spool. But this should be solved by the printed pieces, I'm printing a spool holder!
@schmaker it seems it largely depended on the spool not being aligned with the extruder gears inlet: this picture is a print I just completed using the spool holder printed in the previous print. The spool don't "jump" anymore and moves very smoothly, and it is aligned with the extruder, so the filament doesn't need to make sharp bends.
@schmaker uhm, I must say I bought this printer used and I'm not sure of the nozzle size, there's nothing written on it. I took for granted it was 0.4, because it was the standard for my printer, but maybe it's smaller and this is the cause? As for the skirt, it was created that way in the slicer, I think it just follow the shape at a distance...

This seems much better. Guess it's not the most "pulling" extruder ever 😀
Wobbly skirts are also gone?

in reply to Daniele Verducci 🧉 • •I think it would do different anomalies with smaller/bigger nozzle. I'd say the layer quality looks just fine after spool tweak.
I didn't expected skirt to look like this, that explains a lot 😀
