Spaghetti first layer with Velleman Filament

Well,
since my first prints, I always have spaghetti or noodle first layer print. (PLA only)
I saw many pics with very nice printing, but mine are always like that (links bellow).
I use the Velleman filament and standart Slicr configuraiton and I tried many contributors configuration files, but I always have this problem of first layer :frowning:
Is it normal or realy a problem ?

Here after the links of my poor printing tests (downloaded and home made parts)

ps : how to post directly a pic on the forum ?
Tks in advance

Hi Tag,

problems with the first layer are often caused from a wrong nozzle height, mostly too high. But on your pics it looks more like you are having no bottom and the print starts with infill.
Do you perhaps have in your slicer config set your solid bottom layers set to 0?

Hy walo,
top and bottom are in these pics at 2 and/or 3.
My post was just to know if it’s normal to have always this kind of spaguetti first layer or I miss a parameter or bad heat of filament ?
The nozzle height is at 2.5mm.
Maybe it’s the heat of the filament that I need to change regard to colors for the first layer ?

Your nozzle is too high - it should be 0.25mm maximum not 2.5mm. Ideally though you want it lower than 0.25mm - I mine set around 0.10-0.15mm

As Steve and Tag said it looks like the Z axis is no calibrated correctly
You may want to go back through the manual and make sure you have the settings for the printer set per the manual.
Then you can start tweaking it.

Oups, I’m sorry, sure it’s 0.25mm and not 2.5.
The head bed is flat tks to a mirror and the Z axis has been softly modified like that : hpics.li/d32f1b9
With 4 bottom layers, my firsts layer printing are lke following pic. Maybe it’s normal ? I dont know

Tks for ur comments :wink:

It may be flat but no 100% level according to the Z-axis. Did you measure that? The layer I see on the front (the rest is unsharp) show that your Z is too high.

Thanks to all of you, it was realy the height of Z axis too hight ! sometime I feel so stupid LOL
here the result now, it’s perfect :wink:
