over extruding first layer 3d models

I decided to create an OpenScad file to generate various first layer calibration patterns after experiencing some initial issues. Simply edit the attached OpenScad file and remove the comment in front of the pattern you're interested in or download...

That's much faster and should give you a good setting for z-level calibration already. Print instructionsIn provided OpenSCAD file (.scad), you can adjust settings to match your printer, like: print dimension in X/Y first layer height number of...

Bed calibration check / Initial print layer inspection

With many using USB keychain lights on Prusa minis for primary lighting, I thought they could be used to observe first layer print without mounting them to the printer.  This was made as a standalone light frame that fits under my printers...

I designed a collapsible fan to check the performance of the initial sheet on the heatbed without wasting an entire layer of PLA.

The Ultimate First Layer and Adhesion CalibrationI designed this model to test several calibration and adhesion aspects like for example:Nozzle OffsetAdhesionRoundnessSmall-feature performanceAlso it gives you an indication for retraction- and...

A 25mm square single layer test print for checking your 1st layer calibration. For minimum clean up there is no brim, and a small handle to pull the print off the bed without removing the sheet. g-code for both PLA and PETG Two versions of g-code are...

The Z Height Test allows users to precisely measure Z height at multiple locations across the build plate, eliminating the need for extensive initial layer printing. ...Available in a range of sizes, this tool enables testing on specific areas of the...

I designed this part to help me tune : - The extrusion (flow) in my slicer (I use Cura) - The z offset for a good first layer What you want to look for here is especially the top edge of the part, if the plastic on the inside of the wall is squished...

First Layer tool Bambu Lab X1

I Use 0.05mm then 0.025mm adjustments typically.I Suggest writing the live Z for each section on the side with a sharpie so you can refer back to the print.Once the print is over, you can take it carefully off the bed and hold it up to the light to...

Quick 2 minute print to check first layer/adhesion.

Simple First Layer Test for Creality CR-10 Smart.

Different first layer Sqaure Tests. ...Mainly used to fine tune Z Offset until perfect first layer is achieved.

I found this so helpful at getting the perfect first layer setup that I found myself using for all different types of materials - I have now remixed it for use on my Ender 3.In Summary, you adjust your babystep Z during the print until you get a good...

This model has been created to check the first layer calibration with a unique layer for all printbed. It's pure first layer p0rn! ...enjoy!

First layer 100x100 mm square with 0.2 mm height 60x60 mm square https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/9838-first-layer-test-60x60-mm-square

First layer calibration and bed leveling test model for the Original Prusa MINI.

Printing with PLA - testing first layer on box shaped object with different infills.

First, print a small 50x50mm square to confirm your initial layer settings are correct, using a layer height of precisely 0.2 millimeters.

This model is a test for the leveling of the first layer of the CR-10 Smart printer.

One layer high (0.2mm) loop pattern covering the entire Prusa XL print bed.“Prusa XL First Layer Test 2.7mm r1” - 2.7mm wide loop.  Print time ~8 min with 0.4mm nozzle.“Prusa XL First Layer Test 5.0mm r1” - 5.0mm wide loop. ... Print time ~14 min with...

The 0.4mm width is the one to use with the default first layer thickness for the stock Cura profile in Flux Studio, and I added others for people who will be using different first layer thicknesses. This thing was made with Tinkercad. ...Edit it online...

I'm not the only person who struggled with the first layer on larger prints, so I created a plugin that provides some options to adjust settings like infill pressure, wall pressure, and travel moves. It's designed to help improve print quality and...
