Hi everyone, I'm currently having a hard time trying to fix an issue...

When I'm printing big flat surfaces like the one on the pictures, my first layer doesn't look good as you will see...

My printer is an Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus (with latest firmware) and I'm using Orca Slicer 2.2.0, I'm using Elegoo black PLA+ for this example.

Temperatures are 210°C for the nozzle, 65°C for the bed.

What I tried so far is to do the Z-level procedure many times with both thickness gauge (0.1mm) and paper technique with hot bed. I didn't notice any improvements (I started from what I think is the good position then tried +/- 0.02mm with a step of 0.01mm).

I also did the screw tilt adjust procedure a couple of times then printer's auto bed leveling, my bed looks pretty flat in my opinion:

I would say it's more an "aesthetic" issue as my prints are more than fine in the end + it doesn't really appear on small prints but I'm a bit fussy and trying to fix this drives me a bit mad.

What parameters can I tune to improve that?

Thank you for your help!

Looking to pay for a few Patreon pages. Would be awesome to find someone that was geared towards hunting items as well as someone that designed little fidget toys for the kids. Suggestions?

Just got my 3d printer. Based on fumes and whatnot, should I set it up in the office or the garage? Plan on printing mostly in PLA+

Hi, I am a college student looking for remote printing solutions. I have six Ender 3 v3 SEs, and just want to add remote printing and camera monitoring capability. It seems like ESP3D fits well for this use case, but I have seen very low coverage across YouTube and Reddit. Is there a reason why the adoption is so low? What are the drawbacks of ESP3D compared to Octoprint?

I have an adjustment guide that is made from paper. I would like to print this so it is more durable. But has curved and radius lines.

Any apps that I could scan and it would convert the image to stl or other file type I could then bring into fusion or tinkercad.
