- First layer not sticking: causes and checks
How to recognise a first layer that is too high, too squished or uneven and fix it in order: plate cleaning, slicer profile, leveling, Z offset. Based on official guidance from Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Elegoo and Anycubic.
- Warping: corners lifting off the bed with ABS, ASA, PETG and PLA
Why corners curl and how to reduce it: plate cleaning, drafts, enclosure, bed temperature, brim and ears, cooling and glue. Based on official guidance from Bambu Lab and Prusa and on user experience.
