WAY too close to the bed

this is the filament, squeezing out at the sides bec you are too close

I adjusted from the start, does the end look ok though?

brilliant-limeOP•12/11/22, 9:32 PM

I see

print a 150x30x0.2mm object

Helge Keck•12/11/22, 9:32 PM

and change z-offset until you get a smooth surface

brilliant-limeOP•12/11/22, 9:33 PM

Yes sir

And then print cubes and adjust flow until the top looks good. Then adjust z-offset again

It goes through what a good first layer looks like and what bad ones look like

i got wavey lines once because i slammed my nozzle into the bed which warped the shape of the nozzle hole

replacing the nozzle fixed the isssue along with making sure the nozzle was the correct distance away
