Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand thin first layer cause
A thin layer means less filament is deposited, often because nozzle is too far from bed.Step 2: Relate bed height to nozzle distance
If bed is lower on one side, nozzle is farther away, causing thin layer there.Final Answer:
The bed is lower on that side, nozzle too far -> Option DQuick Check:
Thin layer = nozzle too far = bed too low [OK]
Quick Trick: Thin layer means nozzle too far from bed [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming thin layer means nozzle too close
- Blaming filament clog for layer thickness
- Ignoring bed height differences
