3D Printing - 3D Printer HardwareA user runs a calibration test and notices the first layer is not sticking well. What is the most likely cause?ANozzle is too close to the bedBBed temperature is too lowCFilament diameter is too largeDPrinter firmware is outdatedCheck Answer
Step-by-Step SolutionSolution:Step 1: Analyze first layer adhesion issuePoor sticking usually happens if the bed is too cold to help filament stick.Step 2: Evaluate options'Bed temperature is too low' fits best; nozzle too close usually squishes filament, filament diameter affects extrusion, firmware unrelated.Final Answer:Bed temperature is too low -> Option BQuick Check:First layer adhesion problem = Low bed temperature [OK]Quick Trick: Low bed heat causes poor first layer sticking [OK]Common Mistakes:MISTAKESThinking nozzle too close causes poor adhesionBlaming filament diameter for stickingAssuming firmware affects adhesion
