Just ran a disk like yours as comparison. You have to look pretty close to see the individual lines! Image
Comment on Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help
TheBest@midwest.social 2 months agoThis was the final key, just bringing it WAY closer to the build plate. My first test print turned out much betterImage I see what you mean by smoosh being missing.
Lowering the Z Offset, Cleaning the build plate, using “fresher” filament, adding a brim support layer, and checking the nozle for built up filament seems to be the checklist to follow.
Appriciate the help, Lemmy was a last resort. Hopefully someone else can stumble upon this thread if they’re having issues.

Spent time printing last night and I was able to get a first layer that looked extremely similar to this. Was able to successfully print some smaller things (1 hour print time max). Scared to test a longer print honestly, mostly because if it still doesn’t work I’m just at a loss.
Side note, that red is super vibrant looking. Gonna grab some now lmao.

It’s actually orange! But yeah, super vibrant. My favorite brand is IIID Max, their PLA+ is very vibrant

If that’s the 1st layer we’re looking at, you can get even closer. You want all those lines to be merged with each other.
