Hello
i’ve got some problems with my first layers.
I’ve got the printer completely aligned and everything is ok.
But now when i start to ptint the first couple of layers are just drops of pla in stead of lines.
I use Cura as a slicer with 190° for extruding, layer height is 0.1mm nozzle is 0.5mm and the filament is 3mm.
Just before i start printing i extrude 50mm filament so the nozzle is full of pla and in my setup of Cura i also use a skirt of 2.
Now is the a setting that i miss so that that the print starts with lines of pla in stead of drops.
Best regards
Is the print head to close to the bed?
The nozzle is 0.25 mm from the glass printbed.
Ik glass printbed is clean and sticky because when i feed some some filament it sticks to the bed and i have to wait until it is cooled down to remove it.
Try putting a light coat of hair spray on it.
That’s not the problem. The bed is sticky, i have to wait untill it’s cooled down to remove a printed object.
It’s like there doesn’t come enough filament out of the nozzle. But a couple of seconds before the print starts i feeded filament and then it’s a nice line that comes out of the nozzle.
Is the printer priming before it starts printing?
If not go into the slicer configuration click on the “Printer Settings” tab.
In the left panel click on the “Custom G-code”
In the “Start G-code” box make sure this line is in there.

Hi
I’ve something simular that i add manualy into the G-code file so that the print nozzle is filled.
G1 E50 F500
but now by writing this tekst i see mayby the problem.
After this line is have the next code
G1 E-2 F4500
i use this because i have to move the printhead into his startposition.
i gonne put this line in comment and try again po print the object.
