S3D first layer issues?

[jimc]

oh yes you did say width. well what you are seeing i have never seen before. i can set that width whatever i want and the flow increases to make the line that width. i also dont see the inconsistency issues either. in the past 4 days i have printed 120 of these parts. 6 on the bed at a time. im running 2 printers, same make and model. i have sliced each time i do a bed full of them and they print exactly the same every time. im not sure why you are seeing such different results. if you just leave the first layer width and height at 100%, set your bed gap correctly you shouldnt need different settings for the first layer really. as long as you have 100% contact thats all you need. it cant get any better than that. with everything set at 100% and the gap set on your printer it just makes everything easier and doesnt leaver room for any weird crap to happen. i pretty much set it and forget it.
