How do I start my prints with a line?
I noticed that all the prints that are part of the printer such as the Batman logo or the tree frog start off with a line at the bottom of the print bed and I’m wondering how to incorporate this into my own prints
I took a picture to add but I’m not sure how to add it
RE: How do I start my prints with a line?
That sounds like the prime line used to get filament flowing evenly. The startup gcode in your slicer will typically include it. If you are using PrusaSlicer, anything you slice and send to the printer should start with the same routine.
To insert a picture, drag the image file into the edit box as you write your post. It's a little funky but it works.

Do you have a Prusa printer ?
The start gcode is added automatically for a prusa printer when you run the Prusa Slicer wizard to add one. Unfortunately if you add a custom printer to Prusa Slicer then the start gcode created is very basic as the slicer can not know the parameters of your printer, you are expected to modify it to get the behaviour you want.
If you do have a custom printer then I'd suggest adding a Mk3s and looking what is in the custom start gcode for that and copying the relevant sections over.
