How do I create a smooth first layer on textured sheet?
I'm trying to create a gasket using Fiberflex 40D with the textured powder coated sheet from Prusa.
The first layer is coming out rough because the texture on the sheet.
I was wondering if anyone knows a way to create a "breakaway" first layer in PrusaSlicer that would take away this rough layer.
This is why smooth sheets exist ... if you have an MMU you might try laying down a soluble raft. Alternatively you could try using a domestic iron to smooth the surface, first spray with oil as a seperator and iron through a silicon baking sheet; or you might be able to use thick aluminium foil.
Printed thermoplastic gaskets work reasonably well as low pressure, low temperature seals - say water pumps with a couple of metres head, but don't expect to fix an engine.
Cheerio,
