Gaps in first layer
Hey all,
I am having small gaps in my 1st layer and I am unsure how to get rid of them. I have tried adjusting my live z value up and down but all that does is make the rest of the 1st layer worse. Any idea what might be causing this?
The file I used for 1st layer calibration was found in this post by JeffJordan: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-assembly-and-first-prints-troubleshooting/life-adjust-z-my-way/
Prusa i3 MK3S
0.4mm nozzle
Prusaslicer
Print Settings: 15mm Quality MK3
- I modified some print settings to improve bridging but none of the modified settings pertain to the 1st layer
Filament Settings: Generic PLA
Printer Settings: Original Prusa MK3S

Are you sure the filament is dry? It could also be you bed has a high spot in that location. Move it to another location and see if this still happens,

Thanks for the reply. I'm unsure if the filament is perfectly dry, however I tested the 4 quadrants of the print bed and this only happens in the upper right quadrant. The photo is of a test layer in the middle. So, if it the issue was wet filament the problem would show up at random, since it is only in the top right, it is probably an issue with an uneven print bed? I did have to move the printer recently and the desk it is on could be skewed
