Bacon-y edges
(lemmy.ml)
Ordinarily, I wouldn't turn down bacon for any reason, but in PLA it looks kinda bad. Any ideas as to cause and, more importantly, prevention?
It's a little hard to tell from your photos but it looks like your nozzle might be too close to the bed. The first layer looks thin in places and the baconing could be from the plastic being squeezed out the sides
Yeah, it can be useful to run a large 1st layer print (usually a test print) and live adjust the z axis as it's pouring the icing to get the best lines.
