cannot get an even first layer with a voron trident
first layer 3d print nightmare - help!
I've never been able to get a clean first layer with this machine. I have given it a beacon probe and it just made it much faster to get the same problem to happen again. Where am I going wrong?
0.2mm flatness is very flat for a 3D Printer bed, I don't even know if I achieved that with the Nylock mod on my old Prusa. This simply looks like a bed adhesion problem, clean your bed well with dish soap and water and then rinse well and make sure you don't toch the surface. Check the first layer height and bed temp as well.
I noticed something while printing. it doesnt have a bed mesh loaded when it prints. it saves the last mesh, but doesnt load it. why?
I think that was a change made a few years ago by the klipper devs. You'll need to load the bed mesh explicitly in your print start macro before printing
should I have it remesh each time, save, then load the mesh at the start of each print or should I just have it recall a saved mesh?
Thats up to you, if you have a beacon or cartographer, scanning before each print should be pretty fast, though you shouldn't need to save and load it in that case. The mesh is loaded automatically on finishing the renesh. The change I mentioned from a few years ago is that on restart Klipper doesn't load a mesh by default, so you're expected to load it before printing if you don't remesh.
