#3dPrinting #FirstLayer

So, this is my maximum available space on my printer when slicing with #Cura. Instead of 220x220 I had to use 219,8x219,8 in order to Cura accepting this.

In the top left corner where the tiny handle is, the first layer is flawless and evenly closed with connected rows of filament that is plane on the print bed.

In the middle where the heating element is, there also is a small patch where it's perfect, but overall the first layer quality degrades from top left to bottom right - up to a point where the individual lines are not very well connected at all.

Since I'm using a #BLtouch for automatic bed leveling during print I assume there is something else not quite right. Maybe the bed is not straight between the 9 individual measurement points.

Fortunately this completely becomes not relevant when printing more than just one layer.

This is a real perfect first layer (on my Bambu Lab X1C, except the right back corner. Here you can see a... wavy surface structure, and I don't know what the reason could be.

Do you have any ideas?

@reconbot And we''re off to the races!

"The XL delivers a perfectly smooth first layer every time you start a new print."

... Looks like my PrusaXL missed that memo today. 😆

Another decent #firstlayer
This is a first layer I like

So all my frustration with first layer not being put down okay was due to incorrect z-offset. M851 is your friend (if you are running @marlinfirmware )

M503; first to check current M851 values
M851 X.XX; (mm) to set your offset

Of course if you have a nice LCD panel on your 3D Printer use that, my FrankenPrinter doesn't have one 😬

I've been doing 3D prints for years, but I still enjoy the view of a perfectly printed first layer. 😁 You too?
