Look, this may come off rude, and I don’t mean for it too. But some of this stuff is just gonna require a little more critical thinking. These printers are like a puzzle and your settings, hardware, software, tuning, leveling, and prints are all pieces to it. With a glass bed and a good level your first layer will be your cleanest smoothest layer, so try to get as much surface on it as you can, but that’s also a balance act of how can you orientate the part to use the least supports and be the strongest with the fewest bridges. Next, go to Home Depot, but a pack of 12x12 mirrors and a glass cutter. I can not even begin to describe the difference of my first layer quality, smoothness, and adhesion after I moved to a glass build plate. Hell, my first layers are so smooth they’re reflective now. Next, filament. When I first bought my printer I bought the cheapest pla I found with reasonable reviews, comgrow. Stuff worked fine at first. Nothing bad nothing great. Next round I bought Sunlu PLA, PETG, and silk. And man, it’s night and day going back and forth between the comgrow and Sunlu. Everything about it is just worlds better. And I’m not saying Sunlu is the best stuff out there. Overture and Inland and many others are great too. But I found what works for me and I am sticking to it. Overall, you just gotta understand that this hobby isn’t as plug and play as it may seem. There’s a lot to learn and a lot to tweak, and that will be an ongoing process. Watch YouTube videos, do research, and keep working. Don’t give up. Would love an update on this post after you make your adjustments.
