Geeetech Prusa i3 Pro W won't lay down first layer, help.

Post by okelhemin » Thu Dec 23, 2021 6:47 pm

So I finished my Pro W build. I leveled the bed and tried a test print. It seems as though, even though autohome puts the nozzle a piece of paper away from the bed, that when it starts to print the nozzle is too far away.

I've included a Drive link to the gcode I was using and a video of what it was doing. (This video has a lot of "squeak" from the z-rail but has since been fixed with the same issue.)

I've tried different firmwares with the same results.

Any help would be appreciated.Tweakbox Appvalley https://vlc.onl

Where did you include it? I can't find the link.
Is the first layer not sticking to the glass? (Did you user adhesives such as hairspray or gluesticks or a extra buildplate? )

Or is the first layer looking like silly strings out of the can (wobbly and not straight. Then you need to use a thinner paper for lvling)

Also consider getting a autolvl solution. My back love the 20 bucks I paid for it 😅
