PLA Burning - First Layer  

PLA Burning - First Layer

Hi Guys, first time printer here!

I recently received my Prusa Mini + in the mail today and assembled it with relative ease, with some help. 

We finally arrived at the wizard set up section, the printer flew through all the initial tests and it was time for the first layer calibration. 

Loading the PLA went smoothly however when it came time to print, it went absolutely horribly. The nozzle started smoking which released an awful smell. The first 4cm of print were a burnt browny colour (was using Prusa’s Galaxy black) and after that, the PLA extruded was purely liquid plastic which has burnt / stained the print bed. 

I cleaned the print bed to the best of my ability tho it’s rather ruined on one side and attempted a reprint which only resulted in the familiar smell as the nozzle began to heat up again. (I cancelled the print to prevent any further damage)

I’m rather disappointed as I paid a bit extra to get the pre put together version to try avoid any of this happening. I would be so appreciative if someone could help me out!
