    First Layer Problem

    Hi I'm new to whole 3D printing world and have finally been able to get my Anet A8 to print. I keep getting a separation of the first layer with the rest of the print. Other than the first layer the rest of the print goes well. I haven't been able to find any to troubleshoot my problem. I hope I can get an answer hear to my dilemma. I'm trying to print with PLA at the moment with 200c and 60c bed in Cura.Every other setting is mostly default. I have included 2 images of my problem. All help is greatly appreciated. If any further information is needed please ask. Thank you in advance.

    It looks like you are printing on a raft.

    Do you have the supports enabled for raft.

    Thanks for your response. Well I checked my settings in cura and it doesn't seam to have raft on. I have add a screen shoot of my settings and maybe you can see something wrong.

    I do not see anything wrong with your numbers.

    Other than I personally never run the Parts Cooling fans more than 50%

    Can you take a photo of the bad layer just before the next good layer in laid down.

    Well i tried to take these pictures with my iphone at at the first layer and a little of the second layer. If the pictures are not to clear I'm charging my slr and I'll be able to take way better images at much closer range.The last 2 pictures are of a single layer file i found. Hope they can help. I was also wondering on one side of the settings it says no raft but, under expert settings every field has some value. Will the settings in expert negate the regular setting. I might be wrong but you should know better.

    I see nothing wrong with first layer (Near Perfect)

    Image 912 appears not to have a border. (maybe has not got there yet)
    Can you post the G-Code that is failing along with the STL so I can compare them.

    Here are the 2 files you asked for. I just hope you find something that can help me. Will replacing my hot end and extruder to something like the titan aero help as an upgrade? Hope I uploaded files right. If not let me know. Thanks for your help. double_values_square_calibration.gcode double_values_square_calibration.stl

    I do not know what to tell you I can not find anything.

    Here are My Cura 15.04.6 profiles.ini files that have allowed me to print everything I have ever 3D Printed.

    Cura 15.04.6.zip
