BFB 3000 Operations manual
Calibrate the Z height
A nozzle that is too low by just a small amount to low will give a fatter raft
filament. If the nozzle is more than 0.2mm below ideal height it can
damage the print bed and cause the extruder to skip on the filament. You
can clearly see the melted acrylic around the sides of the very narrow
filament bead, this will not be able to be removed from the print bed and
has to be lightly sanded to give a smooth finish to allow further printing to
take place.
