I've finally done it, a perfect first layer in progress (lemmy.world)

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.

Might be! Depends on how long you've had the printer because more recent orders will have shipped with the allegedly fixed firmware. Basically, you want to never set the z-offset in the web UI without having the fixed firmware, otherwise things will get weird and my build plate has the scar to prove it.

Damn, mine is from December last year and I did not update the firmware because it was working ok out of the box after only adjusting the z-offset and leveling.

Recently I've had some first layer issues that a nozzle swap didn't fix, so thanks for sharing, I've got some playing to do I guess.
