Uneven first layer - Prusa MK3

Hello,

I have a small problem with my printer. The first layer appears to come out uneven. It is ok on the front of the print bed and it seems to come higher towards the back of the printer. The printer is on an even surface, I have tightened all the screws on the heatbed and I have ran the XYZ calibration several times. The adhesion is very good and I have no problems with the prints, apart from the minor cosmetic issue of the first layer.

What am I doing wrong? What else can I check?

Live-Z looks to be a little high.  Simple fix, really.

What printer?

Are you using mesh bed leveling in the slicer?  If so, 3x3 or 7x7?

Have you run or performed an accurate Live-Z calibration?

 

ps: and you might be having a small nozzle clogging or small filament diameter issue - a bit hard to tell with that photo.

Hi,

Using the Bed level correction option I was able to fix the problem. I didn't know about this feature of the printer.

Thank you for the advice!
