  1. Thanks for all the feedback!  I like the suggestions of starting with a lower nozzle height and will give that a try.  My main issue is with petg.  Jcd, your idea may have been incorporated in the small feature experimental setting.  Not sure if you have checked it out yet!  I think I may need to combine the layer height with the small feature setting. 

     

    I would still be interested in a solid first layer feature even is the changes work, as it is a fast way of getting the first layer with a very high success rate.  With that method I can just hit print and walk away.... Plus it looks nice and uniform!

  2. Thanks for the response.  I have used the brim inside as well, but when you try to use it with 3mm holes the brim can just rips off as well.  Like I mentioned, the most surefire way I found was to slice a brim and the just have the entire first layer covered by zigzagging without trying to circle the small holes.  Breaking through a first thin layer in post processing is easy since it's the same effort of removing a successful brim.

  3. Hello everybody,

     

    I'm having build plate adhesion problems on the first layer with small holes and other small features.  I tried the experimental "small features" setting, and my success rate went up, but it was still no guarantee.  Well, I found a way that has always worked so far.  I create a solid first layer and then just remove the excess in the post cleanup phase.  I was wondering if anybody knew how to create a solid first layer either via Cura settings or via maybe a plugin in Cura?  I'm attaching an example so you know what I'm trying to accomplish without having to add it in the design.
