First Layer Problems

Symptoms

Poor adhesion, gaps between lines, excessive squish, inconsistent height, or first layer varying across the bed.

Checks

  1. Clean the build surface using a surface-safe method.
  2. Verify bed temperature and material profile.
  3. Check bed tramming and gantry alignment.
  4. Verify probe operation and mesh.
  5. Re-check Z offset.
  6. Inspect nozzle for partial blockage or damage.
  7. Confirm first-layer speed and extrusion settings.

Do not compensate for warped or loose hardware solely by changing slicer flow.
