Calibration done and the print begins

February 6, 2019

No Comments

I am using the Prusa Mk3 with the prusa supplied PLA filament.

I went for this printer as it was just about in my price range, and seemed to offer some self calibration features which appealed, to make up for my impatience of getting things built.

I have a few issues to iron out, but the printer self levelled a bit and started off on the base layer. I used “support on build plate” option only at 0.15mm when I sliced the stl file to generate the gcode, using the Prusa version of Slicer software.

I have no idea why the base was streaky at all, so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best.
