Let's get started

Full Print Bed

This nice model is useful to check and improve the leveling of your whole print bed. It is not a first layer calibration. You should run the first layer calibration first and use this model to check your whole plate.

We print this test like the first layer proof with an infill angel of 0° to make the smallest issue visibly. 

If you find in your print areas where the lines are not connected or the print is not well bond to the bed you have a lot of options.

• level your bed
• clean the print bed with IPA or what needed
• use a thicker first layer
• use a higher extrusion wide for the first layer
• print the first layer slower
• print the first layer hotter

Other issues

Burned pieces, scratched pieces any kind of over extrusion.

Go one step forward and run the first layer calibration first.
