I have spent parts of the last 2 days trying to finish calibrating a hardened stainless steel .60mm nozzle with Sunlu PLA+ 2.0 filament.
I have been trying to print a test cube and I couldn’t get the first layer to stick period. I washed plates, I swapped plates, I removed the nozzle and reinstalled it.
I swapped different filament brands, and they all printed flawlessly. Try that Sunlu white PLA and instant failure again. I was about ready to admit defeat and dry my first spool of PLA ever because I could think of nothing else to do.
But I took one last look at my settings for this filament. And I finally noticed my flow ratio was set at .096 rather than .96. I didn’t even know the slicer would allow a number that small.
Once again the error was found to be located between the chair and the screen…


Isn’t amazing what slicers can do? There ain’t no guard rails where we’re going!
