Melted bottom layers
Having trouble with bottom few layers looking over melted/ over extruded, but the rest of the print is flawless. It’s happening on every print now, but I’ve used these same settings and it used to print fine, so I’m not sure what has changed…
Machine: Stock VCore 3.1 Enclosed
Slicer: PrusaSlicer
Filament: Polymaker ABS (black)
Hotend Temp: 255 C
Bed Temp: 110 C
Fan: Turn on after 1st layer - Min 20%, Max 40 %
Anyone have any suggestions on what causes this? I tried lowering the bed temp to 100 C, but it didn’t seem to help much

Try a different slicer? Might not get the same quality, but could check if the same issue happens for the first ~10 layers
Such a clear line, its gotta be a slicer setting right?
These are symptoms of low cooling .. play around with filament temp, more cooling and layer time.
Okay, I've done some more printing and I've got this pretty much fixed. I forgot I had lowered my max volumetric flowrate in the slicer for a wood PLA i was printing previously. I think this slowed the print down enough that my temperature settings were too hot. Increasing my flowrate back to what it was before, and now my issue is solved! Thanks for the suggestions y'all!
