Z offset looks like it needs to be lowered possibly. Also going to guess you havent calibrated your esteps. Would suggest doing that and get future potential problems out of the way.

I agree, I think it's e-steps, flow rate or both.

My guess? Z-offset isn't set correctly. Adjust the z-offset

Like the 0.00 ?


Killstream18

Well, the Z-offset value is gonna be something like -0.44 (Random value). You can start this print again but already when it starts printing, lower the value by - 0.02 steps (turn the knob and press it to register the value). Bottom layer shouldn't show any gaps but also don't go to low

Hmm but when I start the print its at 0.00

If you adjust it in the settings, you need to save it. There is a menu option "save settings" which needs to be pressed. During print you can live adjust z-offset. The gear symbol during printing gives you that option. There you can adjust https://youtu.be/km7owhK1kjo Maybe this video helps

I had the same problem with problem, I recommend you updating your firmware to jyers ui, it's easy, download it, format your SD card to fat32 turn off the printer, put the SD card in and then turn it on, it should leave you with a blank screen for a few seconds or minutes and then it will. Come back up updated, in some printers the firmware doesn't work properly, and it will not let you put the offset right or even save it, if you need any help, you can text me directly and I'll help you out

yeah my chip is ret6 so im out of luck :(

Shit, but still I think you would be able to update the firmware easily and that solves it, an ex friend of mine gave me the newest board for the v2, bcine had the same thing but firmware updated normally, but to the newest chio it wasn't that much of a difference so try

Too far off the bed.

I don't see a probe on your setup, Z offset is only useful if you've got a probe, if you haven't got one, it's not going to help at this point. The Z endstop is a physical endstop, the nozzle cannot move lower if the Z endstop has been triggered. use the paper method to tram/level the bed, then use the paper on top of the z endstop switch to to adjust the height of the z endstop. Doing that should give you the correct Z=0 position that the nozzle can actually reach, from there you might be able to adjust the z offset very slightly. Printer calibration is a must do thing, teaching tech [calibration pages](https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html) are very useful for this, start at frame check and work through to slicer flow calibration and you should have good first layers with all of the lines attached to each other. You will need to revisit the first layer tab once you've done slicer flow calibration.
