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

Post by kasinmebo » Thu Feb 24, 2022 3:37 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.

Hi,
Maybe you can try to adjust the height of the hotbed when it's printing, that can be more precise.
I also got you a video which can show you how to solve this kind of problem, please check the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAY6z4I ... 4b&index=3
