How do my first prints look?
Finished up assembling my mk3 kit today and ran a few prints. Must say I'm very happy with the results, although I'm not sure if my z-axis offset is right.
Here's an album of the first four prints I made so far. https://imgur.com/gallery/w2JAJaF
Any feedback on them would be really appreciated.
Re: How do my first prints look?
Hi Barry, your Z offset looks Ok in the middle of the bed but may deteriorate toward the extremities, there is a Bed level correction menu that allows you to fettle the front, back, right and left areas if need be.
your Prusa looks a touch over extruded, the other models look ok for a first try...
now you need to try slicing your own models...

Re: How do my first prints look?
Thanks for the feedback Joan. You're right the Prusa logo was the first thing I printed and I adjusted my z offset afterwards for the other prints.
I got perpendicular axis after the xyz calibration and my calibration results are
Y distance from min:
Left 11.59mm
Right 11.66mm
Measured skew: 0.06
0,0 point offset
x 0.12mm
y 1.09mm
Also measuring the two tips of the batman logo gives me 2.53 mm and 2.51mm.
Is it a case of doing the first layer calibration and seeing if there are any noticeable differences between left/right or front/back and making small adjustments and eyeballing the results from another first layer calibration?
