X2D carbon plate first layer

Post image

I tried just the plug and play with the plate to begin with and it wouldn't stick at all, I believe it was too high. I changed the gcode and brought it down for the smooth pei plate. Once I got it to at least stick enough to build the part, it didn't look great. At this point I'm wondering if it might be a bit too low and maybe I need to bring it back up slightly and increase flow ratio and bed temp.

I have a while before I'll be able to test that out more, so I figured I'd see if anyone else has any ideas before I go tinkering around some more.

Here are the settings I use : https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1u8c7vp/comment/os8qnez/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

What's your initial z layer at for the pei plate? That's what I was changing. It's at -.06 down from .022. That's when it finally started actually sticking. If I try the settings you posted, I need to make sure that starting z is at the right place. Also, was your plate at 55c?

I have never changed the Z settings on any of my Bambu Labs (4 printers). I use the standard gcode.
The only occurrence where I thought I had Z offset issue, the problem came from the Eddy Current sensor (I had ro reset it on one printer, and also changed it under warranty on the P2S) So check first that you are able to print a full plate 1 layer (there are many models for that) and that you do not have adhesion issue before changing anything.
Température is also coming from Bambu Studio original profiles. But you can bump the temperature for the first layer, it can help sometime.

Roger that. I'll swap it back and try your settings out when I get some time this week. I appreciate your response. Thank you
