I recommend you relevel the build plate every 3-5 prints or use a printer with an auto-level feature. Leveling the build plate may take some time to perfect, and will need to be kept up with between builds. Layer means you won’t waste time and materials. Most likely, you forgot to level your print bed When you see errors in your first layer, it’s time You can gauge the probability of a successful Slightly decreasing the line width of the outer wall will add more detail to your model while an increase of line width for the infill will result in quicker printing. Line width should be close to the nozzle size and depend on your layer height. The initial line width is the width of the lines of the initial layer. Is a table with a few examples of your layer height vs. I only lower it when I’m trying to print something high quality like a miniature. That said, the first layer height in my profiles, which you can download from here, matches the layer height value. The same amount of printing material will be applied in that space. The initial layer should be about 10% lower than the other layers. The nozzle needs to be low enough to create compression of the printing material to the bed. If the nozzle is too high, your printing material will simply lay on top of the bed. The goal of your first layer is to achieve adhesion to the printing bed. Once you have that taken care of, you can move on to your first layer settings.
If you don’t have a level build surface anything else you do is basically pointless, so do not skip this step. Follow the instructions for your specific model of printer to achieve a level surface before you begin the printing process.
Your first step is always to make sure the printing bed is level. It’s simple when you break it down toīetter understand what these settings do and why they are so important. Important to understand how to set up your first layer for a successful model,Īlong with a few other related settings. You can find the Cura first layer settings under the “Advanced” tab in the “Quality” section and will be labeled “Initial Layer Thickness.” So, when I began my journey beyond the Cura recommended settings, I decided to gather everything I learned about first layer settings together in one article to make it a little easier.Ĭura first layer settings are the settings that allow you to adjust the initial layer height and line width. There is a lot of information to sift through when it comes to 3-D printing, especially when it comes to first-layer settings.
