Comment on Prusa Mk4 or Mk4s first layer issues

I’ve only ever had the opposite issue with the nozzle being too far away from the bed due to the bed leveling using a dirty nozzle because the nozzle “cleaning” rutine uses a way too cold nozzle temperature so the plastic is not soft enough to be pushed away and the filament is not retracted so it also oozes because it has been heated for too long. Imo the printer should purge, then retract then clean and then bed level.

Can’t you just change this? Or are Prusa too locked down that they don’t allow control of the printer?

Interesting that people might think this. Prusa was/is THE open source printer company.

Isn’t their entire FW closed and using proprietary boards? AFAIK replacement parts are also only available as STLs?

I believe you’ve confused them with Bambu

It’s true it could be better. They used to be more open source. Like they used to just publish their firmware source as they released it. Now days they hold back the current generation till the next gen is out. They mentioned this was so they could be more competitive with companies that do less R&D and more cloning.
Like even their slicer was just reskinned etc. it’s in peoples rights to reskin an open source slicer but I see why they did it.
Maybe “was” is the better word. Still better than things like Bamboo though.

If you wanted to customise the starting gcode, I’m sure you could.
