Floor corner gaps appear as small holes in the bottom layer of a print, especially near corners. These gaps weaken the base of the print and affect appearance. The problem usually comes from poor extrusion during the first layers or incorrect bed leveling.
Symptoms:
-
Small holes at bottom corners of prints.
-
First few layers not fully filled at edges.
Causes:
-
Inadequate first layer overlap.
-
Bed leveling/Z-offset too high.
-
Low extrusion at first layers.
Troubleshooting Steps:
-
Increase first layer extrusion width (120–150%).
-
Adjust Z-offset for closer nozzle contact.
-
Lower first layer speed.
-
Check extrusion calibration.
Prevention Tips:
-
Run first layer calibration print regularly.
-
Use brim/skirt to stabilize flow before main model.
