One painful firmware update later and the z-offset bug that has plagued me since getting the Neptune 4 Pro is finally resolved and first layers are good again just like that. I just had to share the thrilling end result.
You can’t know if it is perfect, when it still is in progress
Why be like that? Why be the person that has to piss on someone’s parade, when all they want to do is share a small, personal win?
Edit: As covered elsewhere in this particular comment thread, this was indeed a joke. I take it back.
And, I think we can all agree, OP needs to share how they’ve achieved what may turn out to be the perfect first layer. As an Ender3 owner, I’ve all but given up trying to achieve this, so open to any tips or tricks I haven’t tried.
I read it less as them shitting on them and more them making a joke about how things tend to immediately go wrong the second you say anything positive about it.
You might be right - just didn’t have the feel of sarcasm coming from a place of shared pain.
It was indeed a joke, partly on the unforseeability of 3D printing, but also partly at celebrating too early. You don’t celebrate a champions league win, when you have a lead at the half time.
Haha thankfully the first layer really was flawless, but I had to cancel this print for unrelated reasons pretty soon after posting anyways. Turns out I was so excited to finally get printing again, I forgot to re-enable supports in the slicer after the last thing I printed a while ago didn’t need them.
