Firstly we look for large flat surfaces on the model which will provide a stable first layer.All of these can in severe cases result in print failure.Īside from ensuring our bed is leveled and using the right printing surface and settings for the desired material it is important to orientate your print so the first layer is large enough to secure the print to the bed. If your print is poorly stuck to the bed the print is susceptible to moving, wobbling and even warping. The first layer of a 3D print is the single most important layer your printer will print.
