Hi
I have the program only a few days in use.
I have found with me if I do. 1 Layer with the extrusion multiplier 130 prints, which keeps print better on the plate
From 2 layer then go Multiplier to 100% extrusion.
I'll do that but always manuel. Can I adjust the extrusion multiplier for the Layer 1 extra (for 130%) and 2 layers (eg, 100%).
Thanks in advance for your help.

There is a tutorial on this topic. With S3D, you can change settings for any layer you want! It's one of the really cool features. http://www.simplify3d.com/support/tutor ... f-a-model/

the easiest thing to do instead of extruding more material is to just print tighter to the bed. your gap is probably a little big requiring more material to get 100% contact of your plastic to the bed. your z axis end stop needs to be adjusted a little tighter OR you can set the first layer height percentage to say 80% and the final option would be to set your z offset in your process so the first layer is closer.

Options from JimC are much better -thanks

hi
thank you again for the response.
'll try it today again with the solution of JimC

I set my first layer height to 65% and just watch closely as it lays down the first bit of plastic. Parts stick like crazy with this method if you level your plate correctly in the first place.

I also found slowing down the first layer to 25% makes for a good print too.
