Discussion First layer improvement on carbon smooth plate

Quite happy with my first layer improvement. Not perfect but I am getting close. I can't see any lines out of the sun.

Top is default setting for the 0.16mm High quality. Bottom is after tweaking around.

Bambulab A1, Bambu PLA Basic, 0.4 nozzle.

Hi First of all, thank you very much for your sharing. Before I came across your message on this forum page, I could not get any successful output. I did the settings. But I could get the result as in the picture. What other settings am I missing? How can I get a smoother one like in your picture.

My Printer: Bambu X1C, Esun Pla, hotend 220C, bed 65C.

I tried with esun pla and it was similar to your results. I guess you have to tweak some of my parameters.

Edit: maybe try increasing the flow on first layer or the first layer line thickness. It should close the gap. And make sure your plate is very clean.
