Prusament First Layer Issue
I just opened a new spool of Prusament White PLA and started printing. The first layer has little "dots" (?) that I haven't seen before with other filament, including Prusament Black, which gave me awesome results.
This straight out of the sealed package, first print with it. I used Slic3rPE with the factory Prusament PLA setting.
Any idea what caused this?
RE: Prusament First Layer Issue
just a guess, but it looks like its overextruded ( too low a live Z)
RE: Prusament First Layer Issue
I concur with David-A-a66, that is just a bit to low on the live z. I would do a first layer test print using the Life-z thread STL (in the assembly and first prints subforum) and just raise the live z a bit like 0.02 to 0.05 to get it dialed back in. Use the tune menu once the print starts so you don't overwrite the live z you have set if it works for other filaments fine.

RE: Prusament First Layer Issue
Thanks, I'll try that on the next print. I have the first layer Z setting as it is to get good adhesion and good texture off the textured sheet (without seeing extrusion lines on the finished surface). But it's worth a try to see what raising the Z setting will do.
