Getting the first layer right!

A successful first layer is vital to a successful print while it might be tempting to start printing the first step is to make sure your machine is properly calibrated and leveled. As many have found through trial and error if the first layer is not the best it can be then it can lead to complete failure parts detaching and warping. There are several techniques and recommendations one can heed in order to minimize the chance of this happening.

Level bed Having a level bed is critical.
Higher temperature As a rule of thumb an additional 5° is recommended.
Lower speeds 30% or 50% of the normal speed is recommended.
Correctly calibrated extrusion rates it is important to have a well calibrated extrusion rate as recommended in calibration.
First layer height It is recommended to raise the first layer height to match the diameter of the nozzle.
Bed material PLA is more forgiving and works well on PET Kapton or blue painters tape.
No cooling Keeping the fan turned off for the first few layers.
Fatter extrusion width The more material touching the bed the better the object will adhere to it and this can be achieved by increasing the extrusion width of the first layer either by a percentage or a fixed amount.
