Waves on the first layer
Hi All,
I've had my MK3 assembled for about a month and I have had very hit or miss luck with my prints (first printer). A few have turned out very well but the majority I just can not get to print right. For example I am currently trying to print the drawers for a parts container and it continuously fails or I have to stop it because the first layer turns out really bad. Can anyone provide some insight as to what may help? I have tried adjusting the bed temperature and z height. Both have created different issues. If put the z height much lower than where it is now I get gobs of filament forming on the nozzle which eventually drop off onto the print and create a mess.
Filament:
Prusa Gray PLA

Re: Waves on the first layer
Thank you, sorry the picture should be corrected now.
Firmware version is 3.2.0-RC2.
Re: Waves on the first layer
Waves in the first layer are often caused by the z axis being too low.
