Hey guys,
Wanted to see if anyone has had a similar issue with their M200, and has figured out a solution. After all the raft is done printing, lately I have been getting really bad areas on the first layer. This results in a really poor surface on the printed part. It is almost as if it were under extruding, but the fact that the raft is all printed, and the surrounding areas are always fine, have me thrown for a loop. I’ve run the autocalibration plenty of times, makes no difference. This is a pretty new problem, but it is happening on every print. Any ideas? Thanks!

Did you test it with a different filament? This issue usually comes out when the filament diameter is not accurate, the raft is nice but the first layer gets worse when you decrease the layer height. OR the feeder is skipping at lower feed rates.

I have the exact same problem. I think it occurred the first time after the last firmware update.
Didn’t find an entry in the Zortrax Bug Tracker. At least it’s not just me.
You have a clogged nozzle or contaminated filament.
Is somewhere the firmware version 1.0.3 available?
Hey guys,
I had the same problem. I replaced the nozzle with a brand new one and changed also the extruder cable without any success.
After this try I got an hint from a another zortrax user to change the complete Hotend and surprise, surprise… the problem with the bad first layer is gone.
I think the Teflon insert is the root cause.
I hope this will help other zortrax users.
Cheers
Chris
