did a basic first layer test and it came out like this, any suggestions?
#first layer test
limpid notch
That looks like you're correct in thinking that, you'll want the first layer to not have any gaps, nor significant bumps (which would imply the nozzle was too close to the bed)
vagrant helm
gotcha, i'll try it again and increase the z-offset slightly
limpid notch
Sounds like you'd want to decrease it, right? :D
Or is it inverse with the actual height of the nozzle? In that case I said nothing, I've never actually used a z offset on any print so I just assume higher number means the nozzle is higher up on the Z axis... 😅

Sounds like you'd want to *decrease* it, right? :D
ahh you're right
second print. i think it got dialed in better towards the middle
limpid notch
It's a little hard to see, but that definitely looks a lot beter already! Can't quite gauge whether there's any sort of blobs/lines appearing on there, but it seems like at least you've gotten rid of the gaps?
