The bed was levels with paper and I am getting interesting lifting at 210 nozzle and 65 bed with pla+

#

Too close.

cloud nebula Oct 19, 2022, 4:21 PM

#

The sections on the left appear to be the same. Ok thank you!

buoyant smelt Oct 19, 2022, 4:21 PM

#

Most of it looks too close tbh.

#

Back it off just a smidge

#

Thanks fellas I'll live level and start over

buoyant smelt Oct 19, 2022, 4:31 PM

#

Live leveling is tough at first, but once you get it, it’s so much easier to level it if something happens to the bed

cloud nebula Oct 19, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

Yeah. Still new, thanks for all the help. I've pulled from -1.42 to -1.38 still happening

#

Keep going. You’re using a bed that auto levels right?

#

Still too close

cloud nebula Oct 19, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

Yep, auto. Cr10s pro v2

#

Seems to be better after live leveling a corner. It's wavy now.

#

Those waves are throwing me. Usually see those too close. But the rest of it looks like too far.

#

The skirt isn't well tacked to the plate at all

nimble flower Oct 19, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

Skirt seems to say too far.

cloud nebula Oct 19, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

Yeah. It's crazy. When the skirt adheres, the print quality is crap on first layer. When skirt almost blows off, the print itself sticks better

nimble flower Oct 19, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

What all have you done to level it? Just the paper method?

cloud nebula Oct 19, 2022, 5:07 PM

#

I have tried a glass bed, couldn't get any adhesion. Since swapping back tot he stock bed. It's been problems. Aux level with the tool, live level, bed level tests, you name it. Re leveled the horizontal axis.

#

The prints before were with z axis at -1.37 and got this quality

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_0cc55b84-0bed-4765-82d0-60e3b99259c3.jpg

#

Now I have to fuss with everything all the time and I'm not getting anywhere near the first layer quality

#

Even the temp on the earlier prints was 200 and 50.

#

Now nothing sticks unless 210 and 65

#

I guess I'm supposed top use a glue stick on the glass...

#

But didn't have any so swapped back.

nimble flower Oct 19, 2022, 5:14 PM

#

I dont use glue stick on glass with pla+, I do wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol before I print. I think you're still a little far from the bed. How tall is this first layer?

cloud nebula Oct 19, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

I am using the CHEP high quality cura profile. So I think it's 1.2

#

If that's what you are asking

nimble flower Oct 19, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

Yes. .12 layer to start is pretty challenging. Can you add the setting in cura to have a different fist layer size?

cloud nebula Oct 19, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

I would love to if that function is available in cura. If so, what do you set yours at?

#

Or recommend?

nimble flower Oct 19, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

I always use .2 on my first layer.

cloud nebula Oct 19, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

Ok. That seems super logical lol

#

I really appreciate the hel0

#

I hope cura has that feature

nimble flower Oct 19, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

So, in cura, click settings, configure setting visibility...

#

Then check the box for initial layer height
