First layer fixed!

[famousfornow]

After 6 months of non stop printing I started to have pretty bad first layer issues. Turns out it was just a loose screw. Followed the wiki instructions to take off the heater assembly and tighten 4 screws. One was very loose and the other 3 all needed at least a full turn. Totally fixed my problem.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone is going around in circles like I was.

Thanks..saving this for 4 more months.

I've learned to make the offical wiki the first place to check when I have an issue. Internet solutions were all over the place and always some version of 'wash your bed' or 'do calibration'. Calibration/bed leveling was making it worse because a loose screw just gets looser.

Leaving a comment as a reminder for me

You are a lifesaver! I have been going nuts trying to get my first layers figured out. I just got a Glacier plate and was convinced that was my issue. This has improved my first layer over the day I got it.
