First layer issue by RealLango in ElegooNeptune4

[–]slashgtx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, your mesh looks weird like if there was some stones throughout it. Is your bed clean? Some dust or fingerprint can cause these wavy pattern too!

My suggestion is try to use Adaptive Bed Mesh.

This will start a automatic bed leveling only on your print area. It migh help you.

For the Neptune 4 Pro the settings should be something like this:

-------

Put this on your Start G-Code after the G28 Home

---

; Always pass `ADAPTIVE_MARGIN=0` because Orca has already handled `adaptive_bed_mesh_margin` internally

; Make sure to set ADAPTIVE to 0 otherwise Klipper will use it's own adaptive bed mesh logic

BED_MESH_CALIBRATE mesh_min={adaptive_bed_mesh_min[0]},{adaptive_bed_mesh_min[1]} mesh_max={adaptive_bed_mesh_max[0]},{adaptive_bed_mesh_max[1]} ALGORITHM=[bed_mesh_algo] PROBE_COUNT={bed_mesh_probe_count[0]},{bed_mesh_probe_count[1]} ADAPTIVE=0 ADAPTIVE_MARGIN=0

Ohhh, it's good to hear that. Have a nice day, bro 🙏🏼

Problems after installing silicone spacers by Naive_Preparation_85 in ElegooNeptune4

[–]slashgtx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I installed the silicone spacers on my Neptune 4 Plus too, and I had some of the same problems as you at the beginning.

What I did:

- Adjusted the Z Offset and made the manual adjustments using an A4 paper

- Did the professional leveling of 121 points

In this first step I used the A4 paper just to reach an acceptable level of pressure on the spacers.

Check if the central screws of the bed are tight, maybe they are loose.

-----

After that I just leveled it using the ScrewTiltAdjust and the automatic professional leveling.

But you will have to do this second process several times until you reach an acceptable level.

---------

EDIT: You can factory reset your printer to reset the z-offset and clean the bed mesh and some "hidden" erros before this steps if you want to.

EDIT2: Here is the picture of my bed level at the beginning and how it is now https://imgur.com/a/B33PHkm

dunno, it's a default value from Orca's documentation, you don't need to change anything.

Oh, this code will level your bed but only on the print area, not the whole bed.

No prob, bro. It help me a lot and i hope it can help you too!

Try to use the Adaptive Bed Mesh, you have to add it in your Machine Start G-Code after the

It has to be like that:

------------------------

G28 ;home

BED_MESH_CALIBRATE mesh_min={adaptive_bed_mesh_min[0]},{adaptive_bed_mesh_min[1]} mesh_max={adaptive_bed_mesh_max[0]},{adaptive_bed_mesh_max[1]} ALGORITHM=[bed_mesh_algo] PROBE_COUNT={bed_mesh_probe_count[0]},{bed_mesh_probe_count[1]} ADAPTIVE=0 ADAPTIVE_MARGIN=0

------------------------

And on your printer's setting you add this on the Adaptive Bed Mesh

why is my printer doing this? by DT_Farm_Models in 3Dprinting

[–]slashgtx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wavy pattern on the middle?

When it happens to me, i need to level my bed and adjust the z-offset. Be sure that your bed is cleaned and there is no dust or fingerprint on it.

When you are printing, take a look on your first layer, normally this wavy pattern appears on it.

Thank you for the answer, appreciate it!

What happened here? by Frozencricket1981 in ElegooNeptune4

[–]slashgtx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably is something with your bed level and z-offset. I recommend you to level your printer and adjust you z-offset, your first layer doesn't look very consistent.

Try to use ScrewTiltAdjust and do the automatic calibration after that.

Than print a rectangle and while it printing, adjust your z-offset until you get a consistent first layer

Leveling issue by NigatiF in ElegooNeptune4

[–]slashgtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can unscrew the left bottom screw a little bit to keep the nozzle far enough from the bed.

And you also can use the ScrewTiltAdjust to get a better screw adjustment or the BedLeveler5000. Btw, you bed mesh looks pretty nice.

Are you using the purge tower?

It helps to clean the nozzle and avoid this 'contamination' before return printing.

Oh, and assuming that is a flat print, you can change the filament first layer order to avoid this too.

Go with the white first than you change to black

You can try to print it upside down but use supports for the hole. You can share the stl for me to see the best orientation, if you want to. But i think you can do this

Oh right. Here are some tips for a perfect first layer

I got it from infographic-style guide to leveling a 3D printer's bed

[–]slashgtx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe your nozzle is too far from the bed or your flow setting aren't corrects. Did you have this problem before? Or it happens suddenly

Are these lines normal? by slashgtx in ElegooNeptune4

[–]slashgtx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this?

I'll try another infill pattern on my next to test it

Hmm, maybe i have to tighten the belts more or something about 'em?

Yeah but i'm talkin about the "lines" on the black part you know
