- Comment on Any ideas on what is the reason for the first layer being shit? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been out of using 3d printers for about 2 years due to building a house, so I’ve forgotten all the terminologies used. Anyways when I had this issue on my ender 3 it was because I was using too much filament and the edges of each line was merging in to the next then pushing upwards slightly.
I had to really tinker with my first layer. What I had to do was make the initial layer a bit taller but also use slightly less filament. Sorry I can’t go more in-depth with the terminologies.
It worked though, I even got great first layers when using petg and wood based filament. - Comment on 3D printing in an unheated workshop 2 months ago:
I don’t see a problem.
Though I would potentially get a bit of 50mm (2 inch) polystyrene insulation board and some polystyrene contact glue then make up a box for it.
It’d only cost about £20 to 25 and it’s a quick and easy ‘just in case’ fallback. You know, just in case…
