Problem with large first layer surface.

Hello guys....

I’m tryng to solve a little issue with my MK3.
During a first layer printing , at the center of the large surface , i’m noticing a bad “stitching and bubbling” performance.

Everytime , the first prints are fine but after a very few printing with the same gcode
(simplify3d) something change ...

I tried a different speed/temp/heat but probably it’s not so significant ... these are printed with COLORFABB NGEN ... and you can notice an increase of poor layer consistency on the second print (lower are better - same photo with different angle view)

How can i solve this problem?

Re: Problem with large first layer surface.

That is usually either a bit of over-extrusion, or your Live-Z being too low (negative) and squishing adjacent layers. I'd try dialing back extrusion a bit.
