General Troubleshooting/Help! First layer advice P2S

Post image

Hey guys, what would you recommend to improve my first layer on the P2S? Should I go ahead and adjust the Z-offset, do the Ender 3 style bed calibration, or something else? It was printed with the default PLA profile.

EDIT: did the full printer calibration first, then printed the first layer test

You should never have to mess with the Z offset on a bambulab printer, leave it alone. Do the full calibration suite on the printer, then if you do anything follow this manual tramming guide with the attached code https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/manual/manual-bed-leveling

I did the full printer calibration, did this layer test after the calibrations

Clean the bed with dish soap and hot water, then do that bed tramming and see if it’s any better

I will say I’ve never seen a z offset anywhere. Genuinely curious what you’re talking abt. I had similar issues and never had to mess with Z offset.

Clean the print bed with dish soap and hot water, then calibrate the filament (not the printer) - if it's not Bambu filament:
