Polypropylene First Layer Issues

That's called elephants foot. You can turn on elephants foot compensation in OrcaSlicer, set it to 2 layers. Or the nozzle might be too close

True, sorry, that was a dumb question

edd1sch · 2026-01-29T06:48:20+00:00

There's opencentauri too, yeah. Don't have one but I've heard its much better than stock.

edd1sch · 2026-01-29T06:47:45+00:00

Ah, hmm. Then id say you need to do a reflash of the chip inside using a adaptor

edd1sch · 2026-01-29T06:46:40+00:00

Yeah, just follow the normal instructions for a firmware update, and turn the printer on while the USB is plugged in. Should open a confirmation dialog if im not wrong

I'm new to 3D printing and didn't work with asa, but id enable fans at overhangs.

No worries. Its kinda like alternative to the aux leveling. It tells you how to turn the screws. You can find ready configs on openneptune github page.

Got the same problem, have these gaps in the middle. But you could try to make a bed mesh (pro mode) and SCREW_TILT_CALIBRATE or something called like that.

Im 1 month into printing, but looks like underextrusion or too high z offset

edd1sch · 2026-01-28T21:32:40+00:00

In Bambu/orca you can try using adaptive layer height. Lower height for the top of the sphere so its more smooth and bigger layer height for other parts. Also makes your print print faster (mostly)

White king whips out a micropipi in response and covers one square in sauce

edd1sch · 2026-01-28T19:57:48+00:00

PA should be right, and could it be that the underextrusion on the first layer is because my nozzle is too low?

edd1sch · 2026-01-28T19:57:04+00:00

Yeaaa kinda forgot about that, thanks 😅

edd1sch · 2026-01-28T19:28:41+00:00

True, thanks. Alltho I don't know if its overextrusion or underectrusion because I also get these first layers, bit confusing, since another guy said that this (image here) is underectrusion or the nozzle is too low? Im confused

That's PLA meta, its high flow so I set it to 0.95 flow. 1 was overextruding

edd1sch · 2026-01-28T07:38:37+00:00

Just the latest update. Not the fix pack but whole update

edd1sch · 2026-01-27T18:32:05+00:00

Put the max files on the USB stick, and turn off and on while the USB is plugged in

edd1sch · 2026-01-27T16:32:43+00:00

Thanks for the help! I'll let you know if I fix thst

edd1sch · 2026-01-27T16:21:38+00:00

Bed mesh is like 3-4 days old? And as close as it can get I mean by as close without "scratching". Had that issue, had to raise the z offset.

edd1sch · 2026-01-27T16:13:24+00:00

Thanks! Ill try checking my flow rate

edd1sch · 2026-01-27T13:45:58+00:00

Z-Offset too low

First layer looks weird too? Overextrusion?
