Hi all-
I’m relatively new to 3D printing and I’ve recently been having issues with my printrbot. When I was printing the first layer, I was getting gaps in between.
I found this thread and figured the issue was the Z offset. I changed it the value to -0.10, and the gaps disappeared, but the the nozzle would drag over the top of the layer and gouge it or would cause the bottom layer to look wrinkled.
I then changed it to -0.05, but the gaps came back again.
Here are my settings:
The plate is not evenly alligned, and/or also the Z axis nozzle distance can be to high.
By starting the print change the Z axis distance to higher negative value (f.e. -0,216) directly in the printer setting when the printer is running a brim or first layer is created.
The firs layer should look like in this image https://i.ytimg.com/vi/o9L7f0zx1WQ/maxresdefault.jpg.
You need to play with the nozzle distance.
