I haven't been printing long and had major issues with first layer adhesion and fill and stringing. I've followed every guide and suggestion I could find and seem to have gotten past them.
I'm printing PLA and have a good, well adhered dimensionally accurate first layer. Most of the print is decent, but starting on layer 2 and going up a mm or so is a taper. If it only happened on layer 2, I'd think the first layer and 2nd layer heights were off so they weren't sticking together, but if forms this perfect taper. I was concerned maybe it was too warm as it was extruding and not cooling in place, so the hot-end fan comes on after the first layer. That didn't have any noticeable impact.
I haven't seen a thread with this exact issue so does anyone have any thoughts?
