Very little extrusion of the first layer

Posted · Very little extrusion of the first layer

I am using Cura to slice a simple cube. The extrusion amount of the first layer is extremely low, but the other layers are fine. I copied the first 2 layer g-code here, and I would like to know if anyone have an idea to solve this issue. Many thanks!

    You have looked at your Initial Layer Flow %?  The flow of layer 0 is just about exactly 5.00% of the flow shown in Layer 1.

    Thank you so much, that solved the issue!

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
