To make things clear the ender 3 standard software Cura set the height of the nozzle for the initial layers as 0.3mm to which must be added the height that nozzle was set above the bed I recommend 0.05 to 0.75mm (0.002 to 0.003 inches) so the actual distance is just under 0.4 for the first layer, the firmware will compensate by over extruding to get the slightly squished down appearance shown in Roberts wideo.

We must all be amateur then, this mistake is made all the time an even by our so called professional 3D Printer operators.
As we get into a hurry and make a simple mistake when rebuilding or re-calibrating our bed leveling or nozzle height.
Even after calibrating for what should be the perfect height I still at time need to use baby steps when starting the 1st layer of a new model.
And over a few prints contentiously making small adjustments until it again is perfect, this is until calibration is knocked out again then it starts all over again.
My bed surface is glued to the heated bed though I quite often use a transfer Paper Tape on the aluminum bed surface of my older 3D Printer.
This transfer paper tape I use for a surface sometimes needs to be taped on the edges to keep it down.
I note this as see your surface is getting in the way of your nozzle and printing the 1st surface at the correct height...Last edited by Roberts_Clif; 09-10-2020 at 06:46 AM.
