I bought my Ultimaker 2 from fbrc8 as a refurbish. One thing that has been driving me insane is the feeder. It keeps skipping on the first layer only. I have leveled the bed about 10 times, but it either is too far for prints to stick or the feeder will skip. I raised the nozzle temp to 220c and helped for a while, but it's now skipping again and is driving me insane. The prints are coming out good, but it's hard to get a good first layer. I'm wanting to get an e3D Titan extruder but don't have $50 at the moment.
What can I do to make my feeder stop skipping? This is ruining my prints and wasting filament.

Hello,
I bought my Ultimaker 2 from fbrc8 as a refurbish. One thing that has been driving me insane is the feeder. It keeps skipping on the first layer only. I have leveled the bed about 10 times, but it either is too far for prints to stick or the feeder will skip. I raised the nozzle temp to 220c and helped for a while, but it's now skipping again and is driving me insane. The prints are coming out good, but it's hard to get a good first layer. I'm wanting to get an e3D Titan extruder but don't have $50 at the moment.

Thanks,
