In less extreme cases you will see excess plastic bulging up in rows as shown on the right side of the
graphic. Usually it’s ok to let the print continue if you see something like the picture in the graphic; your
part will remain stuck to the bed just fine.
13.1.1 How to Adjust
We have several tools available to adjust the first layer height:
The probe offset value in config.g
Material-specific offsets in each profile in Simplify3D
Physically adjusting the bed
Which one is best to use depends on what you’re experiencing. Some helpful guidelines are below:
If you see an incorrect first layer height across multiple materials, adjust the probe offset (see
section 12.8).
If you see an incorrect first layer height with just one material, adjust that material’s gcode
offset (see below).
If you see inconsistent first layer heights, or one area of the bed is too close and another area is
too far away, manually check the bed level (see section 10.4).
