AI Help

It seems like you are having issues with bed adhesion, which is a common problem in 3D printing. You might want to check and adjust the Z offset, which determines the distance between the print nozzle and the print bed. Proper bed leveling and using appropriate bed adhesion methods like glue stick, hairspray, or bed adhesion sheets can also help improve adhesion. Make sure your print bed is clean and level before starting a print.

material / bed temp / first layer temp?

how greasy is the bed?

#

Z offset does look wrong in the clean areas, but that separation pattern indicates something else is also going on.

iso usually just spreads the grease around a bit. Clean with a drop of dish soap & water, bump the 1st layer temp up a bit (215-220ish), and lower z offset like 0.05

A lot better, turned to 220 but I messed up and set bed to 50.
Still some smaller gaps

Lower the z offset a hair more, maybe 0.02?

You're looking for 0 gaps, not breaking when folded like a taco, and as smooth a surface as possible
