I have been printing since 2012-ish and started with Pronterface, I moved into Cura around version 2 and have been using version 3. the Yellow part below is printed with version 3. I installed the latest cura 4.13.1 and setup my machine in the guided setup for a creality cr-10s and controls all work when connected to octoprint. I started with the default "super quality .12" profile as I did not import any older profiles (I assume they no longer are compatible) I loaded a calibration cube and I get under extrusion on the 1st layer. Its odd, because my left side wiping motion is perfectly flat and sticks, but the skirt has a huge under extrusion and then the parts I print are also massively under extruded. I have calibrated my bed, extruder and set my bed height perfect at .08 mm gap to the nozzle. The below photo of the yellow part is my last print on version 3, the borwn ones are varying degrees of version 4. I have tried adjusting these settings, but its not much help. initial layer line width 150% Skirt brim flow 150% initial layer flow 150% The odd thing is my wiping start code line is perfect every time and if a print somehow makes it past the 1st layer, its printed fantastic on layers above 2. I assume I am missing a new setting in version 4 that is preventing me from adjusting the amount of material coming out on layer 1 as its not getting any squishing or over lapping. instead I get small angel hair lines on my first layer. Any help would be appreciated. here is the standard start -gcode but I dont see anything odd in it.
