 To understand what makes for good first layers we need to understand [[https://manual.slic3r.org/advanced/flow-math|Flow Math]] and the relation that layer height and extrusion width have to the surface area presented by the extruded filament against the build plate (or layer beneath, for layers after the first.)

 From the Slic3r docs: "Having a level bed is critical. If the distance between the nozzle tip and the bed deviates by even a small amount it can result in either the material not lying down on the bed (because the nozzle is too close and scrapes the bed instead), or the material lying too high from the bed and not adhering correctly."

-You can also include the same gcode in the [[slicer]]'s machine print start gcode or Klipper's [[PRINT_START]] macro. If the bed isn't level the print will stop.

 ==== Properly set z offset ====
-A well set [[z-offset]] is critical for layers to bond and that extends to the first layer bonding to the build plate. It can not be properly set with the paper method.
