Prusa Logo test print lifted

I just assembled my printer and printed the zig zag test (successfully?) and then attempted the Prusa Logo, partway through I noticed the part had lifted. I used a small screwdriver to keep piece down for the rest of the print but I'm wondering if someone can tell my if i have the nozzle set too high.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Prusa Logo test print lifted

From your print yes your Z is to high.

There is a 75 x 75mm square that another forum user has posted to help setup the live Z. Very much better than the V2 calibration supplied.

Do you have something to measure the thickness when you try to calibrate. Ideally a Digital Vernier. With a digital Vernier and the 75mm square you will be able to dial it in very close. I spent an hour getting mine right with several squares printed but it was well worth it.

Don't forget to raise the Z to 100mm above the build plate during heating so you get consistent results from the Pinda.

Re: Prusa Logo test print lifted

live Z too high...
you need a bigger negative number to give more filament squish...

Thanks for the tips! I lowered my z axis and now I have a nice flat smooth bottom to my print and I've got it measuring ~.20mm
