Looks to me like your offset is wrong, or your first layer height is too large
Yeah, agreed. It looks like it could use a bit more squish.
Seconded (or thirded?) I have a (textured) glass bed and my first layer is usually quite a bit more squished than this
I was able to get it printing, but doing some calibration confirms that adjusting z offset made the bottom layer better. What's the point in z offset specifically, vs just changing the gap when tramming or the initial layer height?
If your printer has a touch sensor, then raising/lowering the entire bed has no effect on the first layer. The Z offset defines the difference between the touch point and the first layer.
I think most people calibrate the Z offset for 0.2 mm, and then never change the first layer height.
Edit: oops, this thread is a month old.
