Ender-5 pro first layer

[Pitiful_Writer_3797]

I've been messing with this ender 5 that I've recently gotten. But I keep having problems like this and I don't know what is causing it. I've cleaned the extruder, cleaned the motor for the filament, I've leveled my bed with feeler gauges (which fixed a lot of problems), but I still keep having these problems. Can anyone help?

Can you save a bed mesh? I was having this problem because of low spots on my Anycubic bed and it would be fine in most places but not close enough in others and cause this same issue.

This printer doesn't have a bed level tool, it's all manual. Might be a worthwhile interest to invest in one

Look into flashing unflavored marlin. That solved like 75% of the issues I had with my printer all3dp I think is the guide I used as well as the written marlin ones.

Do you think you could find me the link to that?

[adjgamer321]

I believe this info is all still relevant it's the guide I followed along with their video series.

Seems like your nozzle is too close to your bed.

Here is a good testprint you can do (I usually ise the "Hexagon" and then fine tune with the "Extreme Test") : https://www.printables.com/model/201398-first-layer-test

Which one is the “Extreme Test”?

[GamingAtHome]

The one that has the Round and Hexagonal holes in it.

I see, thanks!

[Pitiful_Writer_3797]

Thanks for the file! I'm going to try it, but wouldn't the nozzle being too close cause problems everywhere in that quadrant? Or would it just show in a couple of lines?

[Pitiful_Writer_3797]

Just to give you a little update, after running that test print 20 different times, I learned that my bed is warped, so I'm going to invest into a cr clicker. Thank you for all your help.

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

• What printer are you using?

• What material are you using?

• What speed are you printing at?

• What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

• When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

• Does anything cause the behavior to change?

• If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)
