not completing printing the last layer

Post by 24ariel3 » Mon Feb 08, 2016 3:00 am

Hello,

My prints are kind of OK but in the last layer the printer finishes printing before completing printing the whole layer
as you can see in the photos below
My printer is i3 Pro B and I'm using the slicer configuration as in the instructions
How to solve this problem?

Thanks.

...doesn't make any sense. Is the dimensions of your object correct?

uh...can't figure out what's wrong:( maybe you can use the default slic3r settings to test it or use cura.

Looks like updating from to 1.6.0 fixed the problem :)

Do you know how to print the first layer in higher resolution? When I'm trying to print the first layer with width of 0.3 instead 0.6 as recommended the layer doesn't stick well.

I'm printing pla when I try to print small stuff it looks like the layer melting, any solutions?

what's the ditance between the nozzle and bed after homing? usually it is the thickness of a normal paper. And the temperature, use 190-210 for PLA, also the first layer speed keep it slow about 20-25, it's really useful for small perimeters.
