First Layer Issue

Hey guys !

I spent the past weeks reading and applying recommandationa on z axis calibration and first layer stickiness.

I have good results but ONLY when i reduce speed at least for first layer. I can’t get any sample even from the SD card at 100 speed.
The layers never stick.

I was wondering if this is normal and i shouls keep going or if this not normal and should co tinue to tweak my printer.

Thanks !

Peter

Re: First Layer Issue

Are you running a MK2S? Some beds need a wipe with dishwashing soapy water when they are new. Just a damp paper towel and a good wipe down, then rinse off and dry with fresh paper towels before applying the IPA .

If you are still having problems after doing that, then a photo of your first layer going down and your live-Z value will be helpful.

Thanks , i will apply the follow and send you some pictures after testing.

Would you like me to use a specific model ? The calibration z is working. I can run the prusa logo at 100 and 30 speed for example and shownthe difference.

Would that work ?
