Is it possible to hide the visible lines in the first layer? I previously had an Ender 3 S1 with a textured plate and there I did not notice any lines in the first layer. What have I already done: I have reduced the line width to 0.4mm. I increased the flow until I had significant over extrusion…

Thank you for your help. I have tested everything except the CF-filled filament so far (but I want to have a look at that too, I have some here). Some suggestions have hidden the lines better, others have made them more visible: For example, by increasing the first layer line width, the lines were…

A few things to try: increase first layer line width increase first layer temperature by 5-10° decrease first layer speed increase first layer height slightly, up to 3/4 of nozzle size Use something like a shallow square or cylinder to let you get test results faster. Report back with what you fi…

Adding to @tsmith35 suggestions you might also try increasing bed temp +10-15° and keep the fans off for the first 3 or 4 layers

These lines can also be a little less noticeable when using CF-filled filament. But honestly, use the textured plate and they are gone for good.

Using the PEI textured plate is also a good option to completly hide them

What filament are you using PLA / PETG or ? I would use Orca slicer and manual calibrate you filament if you have not done this already ? If say using PLA set the first layer height 0.24 or 0.28 and keep first layer line width .50 if that don’t work. Then yes you will have to add a GCode offset …

So the list would be closer to this? decrease first layer line width possibly? increase first layer temperature by 5-10° decrease first layer speed increase first layer height slightly What seemed to have the most profound effect?

What seemed to have the most profound effect? Increase first layer height Negative GCode offset would be the next step This would be for PLA filament also you need to have the correct filament flow ratio setting as this will effect it also.

Use Orca Slicer and increase the “Bottom surface flow ratio” a bit.

They plate will help but not eliminate it. Bambu insists on printing about .05 too high. They need a z axis adjustment.

You can adjust the squish with modified start gcode. [image] Flow adjustment and height adjustment Bambu Lab Software The firfst layer height is different from what @Venom was asking. Z Offset can not be amended or changed during print. If you want to add more sqish onto…
