Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™ve been struggling with **layer adhesion issues** on my **SV06 Ace** ever since switching to a **0.6mm nozzle**. Iโ€™m using Sovolโ€™s default settings from **OrcaSlicer Beta 2** , but I just canโ€™t get a proper first layer or good adhesion between layers. At first, I thought it was just a bad profile for the **0.6mm nozzle** , but even after switching back to the **official 0.4mm nozzle** , I encountered **the exact same problem**. It seems like my **Z-offset isnโ€™t being calculated correctly** , no matter what I try. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ * * * ## ๐Ÿ” What I Have Tried โœ… **SET\_GCODE\_OFFSET** : Iโ€™ve tried manually setting different offsets with various values, but I always get the same results. โœ… **Thorough Bed Cleaning** : I made sure the print bed was perfectly clean, thinking maybe residue was affecting adhesion, but that didnโ€™t help either. โœ… **Manual Adjustments** : The only way to get a decent first layer is to manually adjust the offset **every single time** using **babystepping** , which completely defeats the purpose of having an automatic sensor. ๐Ÿคฏ This issue has been frustrating me for quite some time, and honestly, my **Ender 3 with an SKR board** is giving me far fewer headaches than the SV06 Ace right now. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ * * * ## โ“ Possible Solutions ๐Ÿ’ก **Would switching to Kliky help with better Z-offset calculations?** ๐Ÿ’ก **What about BTTโ€™s Eddy Coil sensor?** Would it provide a more reliable offset reading? ๐Ÿ’ก **Could the HX711 sensor implementation in the main Klipper branch be more refined?** ๐Ÿ’ก **@sovol3d, is there any chance of an official firmware update that integrates the mainline HX711 sensor improvements?** Right now, I just want my prints to be **consistent and hassle-free** without having to adjust the Z-offset manually on every print. If anyone has any suggestions, modifications, or even firmware tweaks, Iโ€™d love to hear them! ๐Ÿ™ * * * ## ๐Ÿ“š Helpful Resources ๐Ÿ“– **Klipper Documentation:** [https://www.klipper3d.org/Overview.html](https://www.klipper3d.org/Overview.html) ๐Ÿ”ง **Z-Offset Calibration Guide:** [https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed\_Level.html](https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed_Level.html) ๐Ÿ›  **Mainline Klipper GitHub Repo:** [https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper](https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper) Thanks in advance for any insights! ๐Ÿš€ ---

Hi @sovol3d, Iโ€™m still struggling with **first-layer adhesion** on my Sovol SV06 Ace, and Iโ€™m hoping to get some advice. Iโ€™ve tried several adjustments, but I canโ€™t seem to get a consistently good first layer. ### โœ… **What Iโ€™ve Tried So Far:** ๐Ÿ“ **Bed Leveling** โ€“ Multiple auto-leveling cycles and careful Z-offset adjustments. ๐Ÿ“Š **Probe Accuracy Tests** โ€“ The probe readings seem reasonable, but the first layer is still inconsistent. ๐Ÿงผ **Bed Surface & Cleaning** โ€“ I clean the bed regularly and have tried different surfaces (PEI, glass, etc.), but the issue persists. ๐ŸŽ› **Filament Settings** โ€“ Adjusted flow rate, temperature, and first-layer speed, but no major improvements. ### ๐Ÿ” **Issue Breakdown** Iโ€™m attaching some images to help diagnose the problem: ๐Ÿ“‰ **Probe Accuracy Graph:** _(Graph showing probe accuracy results)_ ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sovolforum/original/2X/0/07d586ec077319093a4365445d6eea75112acb2e.png) ๐Ÿ›‘ **First Layer Problems:** _(Photo of the first layer showing the issue)_ ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sovolforum/original/2X/9/9f5c369518641e88a878de8e670f5c28c3ea4c4e.jpeg) ๐ŸŒ **Mesh Visualization:** _(Screenshot of the bed mesh results)_ ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sovolforum/original/2X/5/5a86009cdc29e6d5d69cd0a22cd1d9d370344dae.png) Thanks in advance! ๐Ÿ™Œ ---

This helped me, it might work for you. The Ace profile is set to Smooth Plate only. If you click on Objects, you can change it to Textured Plate. ![55](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/sovolforum/original/2X/2/24456c830a6fb210e93b87c0bc9d880b829ac487.jpeg) But, the setting doesnโ€™t hold, you have to re-do it each time you open Orca. ---

Iโ€™m using the latest beta version of OrcaSlicer, which includes support for multiple print beds, and Iโ€™ve selected the one you mentioned. ---

I mentioned it, because unless the Orca Beta changed it, you canโ€™t change plates from the topโ€ฆitโ€™s shaded out. ---

Yeah, Orca beta changed It. Now you can change It. ---

Reading Discord today, it seems you fixed this problem with a new heater..?? ---

No, but that was part of the problem. Iโ€™m now implementing Klicky.
