Thanks folks. You've given me food for thought. Tonight I'll calibrate z steps and set home position to true zero and see what happens.
Here's what doesn't make sense to me. I've never had this problem before. 1st layer ALWAYS sticks to the glass, layers always lay down nice. But, the largest thing I've printed (flat surface area-speaking) is a phone case or a light switch plate. Those are mu

For what I've seen, most people set the Z=0 position using a piece of plain paper. You run the nozzle down very close to the bed just to the point it is grabbing a piece of paper, but not pinning the paper down. You can usually feel it while moving the paper around.
OK, that's what I'm doing, but using a metal feeler gauge. Sounds like there might have been some miscommunication be

Hi folks. I've been having an issue with my 2nd layer not sticking to my first. I contacted the manufacturer (I don't want to name him in case there's just a simple misunderstanding, I don't want to bash him) and he blew my mind. He asked about nozzle height. I told him I use a feeler gauge. 0.104mm and set it to light drag. He said, at the home position the nozzle should be touching the glass be

I attached a close-up version of the same file. I think you can see better that the lines don't connect to each other in quite of bit of each layer.

Correct, at 100% infill all layers should be solid. Then maybe you still have a slight underextrusion. Did those signs of overextrusion happen in the 1st or 2nd layer? Then ignore them, or increase your head about 0.05mm maybe. What's your nozzle size? If 0.4mm or 0.5mm try layer heights of 0.25mm or 0.3mm.
The overextrusion issue only happened when I turned the "flow" up to 120

"Top and Bottom Fill"....Is this different than the # of layers top and bottom? I'll try to get a screen shot when I get home.

I think my settings are for 2 mm bottom, and 3 mm top layers. The print pictured is a phone case so it's 100% fill.
Shouldn't each layer be solid, each line touching the ones next to it? That doesn't happen on any layer except my bottom layer (90% height). That being said, the bottom layer is almost solid. Of course, that doesn't include the XX% infill layers.
Does that make sense?
Thanks for

Hi folks. I've searched the wisdom that is google and am still at a loss.
I'm printing with a Prusa iv3 10".
I have calibrated and adjusted my extruder
.40 nozzle printing at 194 on a bed heated to 64 on glass
I've used different slicers, and changed the settings I understand, and a few I don't. No matter what I get these results. Basically, my layers are not solid, they end up being a
