Everyone involved was at fault, and both parties look ridiculous. Glad this post popped up on my Google search, so I could waste 5 minutes and be no closer to solving my issue.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@nilok</p><p>I ONLY run with 7x7 bed leveling. As I have mentioned before, quality is more important than speed. I will almost always side with quality.</p><p>I am having a problem getting Octoprint to work (and I posted for help on this). So I am using an SD card.</p><p>I have done Live-Z adjustments. I had thought (perhaps incorrectly) that I was dialed in correctly. Any higher and I had unattached strings. The height I had was (perhaps incorrectly) working for all of my other prints with good adhesion to the bed and a smooth surface on top of the first layer. You felt otherwise, and that I was too close to the bed. You may be correct, but when I moved the nozzle up I was back to unattached strings. So I am a bit flummoxed, but I continue to try to get it dialed in.</p><p>As I mentioned, countless dozens of prints are working well. It is this 120x120 one that is so problematic.</p><p>Also as I mentioned, moving the speed up from 25 to 50ish seems to have remarkably reduced the problem...which seems counter-intuitive to me.</p>]]></content:encoded>
