Print Adhesion
Important!
Ensuring Proper Print Adhesion
Whenever you begin a print, always check that the first layer of the print is properly stuck onto the blue painter’s tape. A properly levelled print
surface should have the extruded filament a bit squished. While the printer is printing the skirt (outer perimeter), observe the deposited filament
and make micro-adjustments with the thumbscrew if necessary.
Signs of nozzle too close to print surface:
(A)
Inconsistent width along extrusion.
(B)
Portion of the layer appear thin or
non-existent.
(C)
Squshed filament causes areas to
overfill.
Signs of nozzle levelled to print surface:
(A)
Consistent width along extrusion.
(B)
Thickness appears consistent across
entire layer.
(C)
Infill is even and joins up neatly with
the perimeter.
Signs of nozzle too far to print surface:
(A)
Filament appear stringy and doesn’t
adhere to print surface.
(B)
Infill doesn’t meet up with perimeter.
(C)
Infill line doesn’t stick to other infill
lines.
