    It might just be me, but I've had much better results with my cooling fan with ABS. I've been able to get much better finishes from my FFCP.

    Okay, a bit of update.
    20160108_183823.jpg

    This is what i always get at the start of my print. I set up everything, i level everything when hot, i even stop the print at the start, and level the bed again just to be sure that its good, but still the same result. Any tips?

    Another update:

    It seemed like my bed was not levelled. I was trying as hard as i could but nothing happened. Yesterday i wanted to do some more levelling but i realized that my Z-axis switch just broke (i didnt do anything with that, simply bad quality) and i didnt get any spare ones, so i'm going to buy a proximity sensor.

    The question is: what sensor should i buy? The company where i bought the printer sells this "upgrade" for 50$. What the hell? SN04-N NO , this is the sensor they are selling. Do you recommend this or another one?

    EDIT: I have some expensive sensors (OMRON E2S, BES00KJ from Balluff). Where do i place them? What is the best place?

    I would steer clear of the inductive sensors (the "upgrade") until you really get your printer under control.

    Here is what 99% of the world uses as Endstops:

    They are great, simple, accurate switches. No reason to get all fancy with something that makes it more complicated for 2% more accuracy.
