    hi guys,

    one of the issues i have been having with my new robo r1+ is the way the first layer comes out, for example if i am printing a 1 layer rectangular shape, the layer wont come smooth and streight, it will be noise and grainy and will have small parts of material over it, in a way that makes the hot end makes a scratching sound when it is trying to print the second layer cuz the head is scratching the small pieces of the first layer that come up cuz the layer isnt smooth.

    thanks

    Is this just with the first layer? A pic would help tremendously.

    First guess would be a partial clog if it just started all the sudden. Run an oiler with pla
