Unanswered Prints failing after first layers.

Seems no matter what I try prints still fail. Some don't extrude plastic at all. And my filament still doesn't overlap. I tried net fabb, new filament, new slicer, and updated gcode. Any other ideas?

I'd guess that you are just over and under shooting the correct height. get to a point where the plastic is isn't overlapping and dial it down by TINY amounts. You have have to do a couple tens of tries depending on how slow you go. You should be able to see a gap (looking straight on). If it isn't extruding try doing it manually with the head in the air to see if you just have it too low. Remember, the bottom layer is just 0.15-0.3 mm, changing the offset by 0.05 mm is a fairly big change!

 

Same, but he seemed to say he had tried other prints too...

 

The print I was trying was a spool holder from thingiverse, I even ran it through net fabb. I have now been trying the stock model of the glasses in matter control and they fail the same way. I just found I had some leaking around the hot end. I just installed the E3D v6 but haven't ran new tests yet. Will keep posted.

I am having the same problem and it seems to me that nobody have a answer. It print the first layer but the second one is a mess. Let me know if you correct the problem ?
