First Layer Funkiness

I can’t make heads or tails of what’s going on with this first layer. Everything seems to be doing it. I’m using PLA, and Simplify 3Ds default settings for the MK3. Thoughts?

Re: First Layer Funkiness

Your z offset is set too close to the bed.

What is your Z offset set to? I have a similar issue.

Re: First Layer Funkiness

One man's z offset is completely different from another. You know, like one man's um ... 🙂 Assuming you are a man of course.

And yes, as I said in your other thread, your z value is probably wrong. So, you need to print out some calibration squares to see how your z offset looks. There are plenty around, just check on Thingiverse for example. This also has the advantage of allowing you to see if your bed is level.
