Wavey first layer and wierd layer artifacts
Hi, i have been trying to callibrate the my v-core 4 500 for the pas week or so, and this is as good i as i can get on my own, so now im seeking help to understan what i need to do to fix these problems.
I have tried several diffrent things o for the first layer problem
BEACON_RATOS_CALIBRATE
BEACON_FINAL_CALIBRATION
shaper_calibrate
BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION
and a nozzle probe mesh but nothing seems to work, i have played with the z-offset manually while printing but when i go to save and start a new print it defaults back to the wobbely offset, i belive what is happening is that the nozzle has abit to high z-offset.
I have aslo tried to do a nozzle and bed heat soak for abit more then an hour, and then doing the beacon mesh calibration but that dosent seem to work ether
and for the walls i have tested a few diffrent tempetures for the hotend and diffrent pcf speeds, i have also tested to dry the fillament for more then 48h. but i seem to be stuck on something and im not sure what.
im useing copymaster pla
any help appreciated

it's difficult to see, but I am estimating that your nozzle is too close to the bed for the first layer. Try something like this:

This is the result. Im not sure what to take from this

Heres a better pic

that's significantly too close, you need to re-tune your z-offset - your nozzle is too close to your bed.
The idea while printing this file is that you change the Z offset for every section, so you can see when the Z-offset becomes good and save that configuration.

Hello sorry for a rellly late reply but i have been trying for the past weeks to fix this i have chated with others but i cant seem to figgure it out
its still wayve
if i go any further up in the zoffset it gets string. on smaller scale it looks decent but as soon as i try any bigger it looks bad.


this is a big difficult to see, looks like you used a different geometry. But I would say that the lower section (marked green) looks good, while the rest (marked red) looks like the nozzle is too close to the bed.
did you change the Z-offset during this print?

yes i did change it, ony during the green part, then i left the printer alone and when i came back the red was like that
