Hey guys,
I am using Bambu lab sunflower yellow. I have dried it, and washed my plate. With this particular filament the first layer looks like shit, but the rest of the print turns out fine. Other filaments have proper thick lines of equal height and so on.
I only have a problem with this particular color sinw opening the filament. Is it just the filament being shit or you can think of anything else I could check?
I've been out of using 3d printers for about 2 years due to building a house, so I've forgotten all the terminologies used. Anyways when I had this issue on my ender 3 it was because I was using too much filament and the edges of each line was merging in to the next then pushing upwards slightly.
I had to really tinker with my first layer. What I had to do was make the initial layer a bit taller but also use slightly less filament. Sorry I can't go more in-depth with the terminologies.
It worked though, I even got great first layers when using petg and wood based filament.
