Hey guys,

I am using Bambu lab sunflower yellow. I have dried it, and washed my plate. With this particular filament the first layer looks like shit, but the rest of the print turns out fine. Other filaments have proper thick lines of equal height and so on.

I only have a problem with this particular color sinw opening the filament. Is it just the filament being shit or you can think of anything else I could check?

    Looks like the nozzle is too close (z-offset is wrong) or too much filament is extruded (flow rate is too high).

      I would guess the z-offset should be fine because for any other filament it works correctly.

      I will try to print a test for determining the flow rate for this specific filament after my print is done. I am using the default Bambu settings at the moment, and didn’t have any issue on other filaments so far, but I guess it’s worth checking out.

        Then it might be flow or inconsistent extrusion. Try doing calibration available in Orca (probably same thing in Bambu slicer).
