I'd start with proper bed leveling, how do your first layers look?

#

do you have an image of a first layer?

#

also regularly clean the print surface, try not to get ur hand greases on the surface afterwards

#

just warm water and soap is fine

bleak reef
#

oh ok

#

is there anything else you think could be the problem

fresh zephyr
#

improper bed leveling, even if it might look fine to you it could be a little too close or too far, that's a very common issue

bleak reef
#

how do you know if the leveling is perfect?

#

also, it seems that when it does properly print for 5 mins, it comes off jagged and not proper

#

heres a exampe

fresh zephyr
#

step by step, first I'd make sure that bed leveling really is perfect

fresh zephyr
#

you can take any model and just print the first layer / take a video of it printing the first layer

bleak reef

bleak reef
fresh zephyr
#

that's good for now, shouldn't be the source of any issues for this

bleak reef
#

instead of coming out properly, its curling up at the point

#

do you know why?

fresh zephyr
#

again, probably bed bed leveling.

how do I get the nozzle in the correct position, because I think it is way to high

#

I know im adjusting the board but Im pretty sure the nozzle is normally farther down

fresh zephyr
#

you don't have to adjust the board at all, there should be a setting in the printer menu that's either Z-offset or prob z offset, you can tune that

#

bleak reef
