Finished print with incomplete first layer

Finished upgrading my mk3s+ to an mk3.5s. Figured I'd print some gridfinity bins to help with parts organization.

Sliced the object in Prusa Slicer and sent the Gcode to the printer using Prusa Connect. The rest of the print "finished," but looks like it only did about 85% of the first layer. See pic for reference.

Anyone else experience this, or know what's going on?

RE: Finished print with incomplete first layer

it sounds like your print started, but only partially completed the first layer and then jumped ahead, possibly thinking the job was done. I recommend enabling G-code preview in PrusaSlicer to confirm that the first layer path looks correct.

Hello Lily,

The G-code looked correct. After a lot of asking around, I think the most likely cause was an issue with the firmware, the wifi, and Prusa Connect. I ended up connecting the printer to wired internet instead of wireless wifi, and have not had the problem happen since then.
