First Layer Test

thingiverse

Some calibration files are available to fine-tune your settings for achieving ideal initial layers. These will produce one complete layer if you're using a 0.2 mm layer thickness in your slicer settings. Afterward, examine the printed object and adjust one parameter at a time until you achieve flawless first-layer results, as this critical layer sets the stage for everything that follows.\r\n\r\nOnce you obtain successful results with basic shapes, attempt the challenging test file. If you can successfully print it without any defects or gaps, then your initial layers are perfect.
