I am completely new to 3D printing. My current settings are: Layer Height: 0.2mm Infill Density: 20% Infill Pattern: Lines Printing Temperature: 220 °C (The eSun PLA+ states 210-230 °C) Speed 50 mm/s Fan Speed: 100% Build Plate Adhesion Type: None Whenever i print stuff, the very bottom layer is coming off easily. Anything printed on top of the first Layers is turning out great. What do i need to do, to make the foundation layers not fall apart? When doing the paper thingy, i make it scrape the paper gently, not making it hard to pull the paper - is that correct? Much love, Myrothas ---

Layer Height: 0.2mm → ok Infill Density: 20% → it depends the model, 15% could be enough Infill Pattern: Lines → it depends solidity and geometry of the model. Lines is standard —\> Printing Temperature: 220 °C (The eSun PLA+ states 210-230 °C) → too much, try 200 or 195° —\> Bed temperature 60° Speed 50 mm/s → ok Fan Speed: 100% → ok —\> Build Plate Adhesion Type: none → try brim ---

OK, Then your Z-Offset is probably a little too high. Read this, setup for the SV06 is the same for the Plus. Read the post right above mine, so you understand what I posted. > [@Z calibration buggy](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/z-calibration-buggy/2747/2): > > Do steps 1, 2 & 3…then level the bed & click save…your done…(do not re-set the Z offset) The nozzle will always be off the bed until you start your print. ---

dunno how it can be too high, like i put it in a way where the paper can be moved without a lot of friction. like it only fits a paper and does not cling strongly onto it, but firmly. dunno how to explain. edit, everything i print is perfekt, only the very first bottom layer is a little more loose, when i examine it. i can fix it with a lighter, but i think its not supposed be be like that. ---

It’s probably just 1 or 2 clicks. Filament will stick to filament, it sounds like a 1st layer issue to me. It’s up to you…it’s JMO. ---

Little question : After leveling with a sheet of paper, have you autoleveled the printer? ---

I don’t understand why you don’t use the autoleveling. It make an auto-home, auto z align, autoleveling. You just have to store the settings when finished. ---

That is what I did first and it ran my printer needle deep into the floor, so i rather do it this way - as this prevented it from happening ever again. Edit: this forum does not allow me any more comments for this day. i have to wait 19 hours. [Next page](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/pla-settings/3978.md?page=2)
