A successful 3D print starts with a good first layer. The first layer is the literal “base” for the rest of the print, providing stability for the whole project and establishing good layer-to-layer adhesion.

 .

Unfortunately, getting the first layer right can also be one of the hardest things to pull off in 3D printing.

 .

One of the more common problems is in getting that first layer to stick to the print bed. There are a lot of factors that could affect this: the filament you’re using, the state of your print bed, or the lack of a suitable adhesion aid. Read on for our tips on how to get that first layer to stick. Bed adhesion – a balancing trick Bed adhesion is a somewhat strange problem to solve because of the fact that it’s possible to do it too well. Yes, keeping the base layer to stick to […]
