Why does filament not stick to the glass?
(midwest.social)
You can see where around corners and even some straight runs it is peeling up. I'm running first layer at an agonizing 15 mm/s. Using hatchbox pla filament, just dried in dehydrator. 200° nozzle and 70° bed. The glass is freshly cleaned with soap and water, I just did several atomic pulls, I've trammed at different heights using a feeler gauge, and absolutely nothing is working. Any one have any ideas?
Yeah, agreed. It looks like it could use a bit more squish.
Seconded (or thirded?) I have a (textured) glass bed and my first layer is usually quite a bit more squished than this
I was able to get it printing, but doing some calibration confirms that adjusting z offset made the bottom layer better. What's the point in z offset specifically, vs just changing the gap when tramming or the initial layer height?
If your printer has a touch sensor, then raising/lowering the entire bed has no effect on the first layer. The Z offset defines the difference between the touch point and the first layer.
I think most people calibrate the Z offset for 0.2 mm, and then never change the first layer height.
