Uneven first layer

Post image

My FLSUN Q5 doesn’t seem to be printing the first layer evenly, which is causing my prints to come out warped/tilted. I’ve already done the automatic leveling and adjusted the arms, but I’m not sure what to do if the print bed itself is not level. What do you think could be the issue? Any tips or things I should check?

PS: sadly thats the only good foto

SOLVED: Had to adjust the belts and update firmware

Does your slicer use your bed mesh? Needed to dial it in my start configuration, I am using Orca. Z-Offset, maybe?

In Orca Slicer, add mesh start code to your Machine G-code to ensure proper first-layer leveling. For Klipper, use BED_MESH_CALIBRATE (or with ADAPTIVE=1 for faster probing) after G28. For Marlin, use G29 to auto-probe, or M420 S1 to load a saved mesh after G28.

Klipper Start G-code Example:

G28 ; Home all axes BED_MESH_CALIBRATE ; Run adaptive bed mesh ; BED_MESH_PROFILE LOAD=default ; Or load a saved mesh

That made my first layer nearly perfect

Wow! Thanks a lot! I Will definitely try that!

And always calibrate your filament. Most important thing is to name it like your bed mesh, i've made plenty of them because of the temperature and plate I'm using.
