First Layer Doesn't Fully Extend to Edge of Part

[AnnaChristine]

Hello,

I’ve got a chamfer on the bottom of this part, and the first layer doesn’t extend all the way to the edge like the other layers, even though it looks like there’s plenty of room for it to get closer. I’m using 0.20 layer height, but it occurs with other layer heights as well.

Do you all know of any settings I could change to fix it so it’s more dimensionally accurate?

Thanks!

This is elephant foot compensation in the quality settings. The first layer is shrunk to compensate for elephant foot as otherwise it will likely be too large once printed. In my experience, it is best to leave it as is…
