Credit: Peter Solomon   Too many people do not give enough attention to all of the details to get the right first layer. Once that you do, so many of your problems will disappear and your printing will become fun and much more predictable! There are 6 Main Factors in getting the perfect first layer 1. Well Trammed Machine (this is not so much about the first layer as in good preparation for the rest of your steps) Tramming your machine is making sure all of the components are at perfect 90° to each other, this doesn't mean leveling with a bubble level gauge. It means making sure your vertical elements are all at 90° to the horizontal elements, that your X gantry is Parallel to...
