First Layer Calibration

Hi,

I have Problems with the First Layer Calibration. I dont really know what is "good". I made a few Calibration Tests with -1400 -1475 -1500 -1515 and took a Picture of the Square at the End. With -1400 and -1500 I made the Bottom of the Benchy Boat to see the Difference.

At -1515 there are no gaps between the Lines but it looks squished?

Can you look at the the Photos please?

You can go below -1.515.  Please show us the whole calibration print on the print-sheet.

Cheerio,

Ok, here are some more new Calibration Prints.

It is strange that one Print at -1510 is perfect without a hole and another with the same height has many holes?

Refer to this page: https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/first-layer-calibration-mini-mini_229122/

It's supposed to look squished. The 1515 looks close, all the rest of your photos the nozzle is way too high.

Yes, lower. You're still getting gaps. Go until it start squeezing little ridges between the lines, then back off until that stops. Using a big, single-layer square helps give time to do this. Either grab a premade one from Prusaprinters or just add a square directly in PrusaSlicer and set it to 0.2 high. Once it looks dialed in you can cancel the print.
