You can adjust this under Printer Settings->Extruder 1->Retractions->Lift Z. The line as the nozzle moves across the bed is addressed with z-lift.When you lift the 75x75 square, it should come off as one piece and not be easy to tug apart.

Use Jeff's 'Life Adjust' calibration print to adjust it until you get that even top layer with no gaps.

The gaps between 1st layer extrusions indicates your Live-Z setting it too high (not negative enough).

You should not be able to peel the lines apart after printing, but the top should be regular. Then start lowering (more negative) the level until there are no gaps between layers. When you've got your Live-Z setting adjusted properly, you should be able to gently rub the extruded lines on the PEI surface without dislodging them. 0.1mm) until the filament starts to stick on its own. In general, start high (less negative) and work lower (more negative) in large increments (e.g. It is much easier to use and understand than the on-board routine and much easier to make mid-print adjustments accurately with. If you have not already done so, try using Jeff Jordan's ' Life Adjust' procedure for calibrating your Live-Z setting. An any pictures of perfect first layer would also be great to see. Dont think you can increase extrusion on just the first layer?Īny thoughts on this would be great. Have tried increasing extrusion multiplier until stringing and also read about reducing extrusion width on first layer which helps a lot as it effectively increases the resolution. Maybe this is because near the perimeters the previous line of filament still carries some temperature so they squish together perfectly but in the centre its cooled enough so only the newly extruded line squishes. Its as if near the perimeter the filament is fused to the previous line but when it moves toward the centre of the part the filament isn't. Often the first layer is perfect near the perimeters but when the nozzle move across the centre of the print lines appear. Have spent hours with different filaments and different z heights to try to achieve a fully filled first layer but without luck. When i say that i mean absolutely smooth first layer on the smooth sheet or no lines visible on the textured sheet. Ive been trying to achieve a fully filled in first layer.
