Today we dive into a fundamental problem in 3D printing. How to get the perfect first layer. The solution isn't always just to calibrate the first layer by adjusting the Z-axis. Sometimes there are other variables involved that complicate matters. As usual, we dive right in and tackle the problem from multiple angles until we come up with a solution.
In this video, we use the following first layer file to help up check the bed leveling and calibrate the first layer at 9 different points: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/13885-prusa-mk3-bed-level-first-layer-test-file
