Is my print plate warped?
Am I correct in assuming my print plate is warped?
Notice the extrusion width on the edges vs middle.
Backside of failed print. Notice how the width is changing
RE: Is my print plate warped?
Looks pretty normal for a first layer that is way too high and needs the live z lowering by quite a bit.
With a plater that is as dirty as that one with a live z so far out then I'd guess your bed adhesion sucks and you get lots of failed prints.
There are plenty of posts here describing how to dial in the first layer, I suggest you read a couple. Same with how to clean a print surface properly.
You are aiming for a first layer that is unbroken with all the filament beads merged into a solid sheet. For example
Note how its all merged. Also note that you can see every single ding and scratch from the 5+ year old print plate 🙂 Still working.
If you want to see if something is warped then use a straight edge placed along it with a light source behind, you will see any gap.
