Good Morning All
My first layer looks quite strange and i have no idea why. I am trying to get a very good looking print with details however the first layer is not going down flat and smooth. I seems to show some flow problems? is it because of my settings?If someone could point me in the right direction as to fix it I would really appreciate it. My settings are as follow:
Nozzle size o.6
layer 0.24
line 0.4
temp 205
bed 50
pla
speed 40
Thank you very much [ATTACH=JSON]{“alt”:“Click image for larger version Name: First-Layer.jpg Views: 1 Size: 2.65 MB ID: 14727”,“data-align”:“none”,“data-attachmentid”:“14727”,“data-size”:“medium”}[/ATTACH][IMG2=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“full”,“src”:“http://forum.makewithtech.com/core/image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==”}[/IMG2][IMG2=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“full”,“src”:“http://forum.makewithtech.com/core/image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==”}[/IMG2][IMG2=JSON]{“data-align”:“none”,“data-size”:“full”,“src”:“http://forum.makewithtech.com/core/image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==”}[/IMG2]
I don’t print with a 0.6mm nozzle but to start try the following
Speed: 25
Temp: 210-215c
Bed: 60
We will assume that you have a good bed level.
You will save time by printing some 30x30 squares 1 layer high. These will print pretty fast, make adjustments and print another one.
In addition to the 30mm squares, you might consider switching to a 0.4mm nozzle. The printer has to work harder to keep up with the a 0.6mm nozzle.
Looking at the extreme closeup of the photo (thanks for posting a high res photo), it looks like your nozzle might be a little too close to the bed. This is where the 30mm squares come in really handy. If you haven’t yet, please watch this video: [U]Best method for 3D printer bed levelling - YouTube
