first solid layer after infill issues

Hi to all

Firstly, I have tried to search for this but didn't turn up anything, so apologies if this isa duplicated.

I seem to have serious warping of the first solid layer after infill. Its extreme enough that sometimes the print head will catch on a warped piece and shift so that the top layers are a couple of mm out of alignment. Was wondering if anyone had a solution for that. I currently run a hexagon infill at 40%.

Thanks

Going to need a lot more info about your printer your settings, your material and photos.

You need to be more extensive in your details but sound like you are trying to print too fast for your extrusion temperature.

If when laying the top layer after the infill your filament looks glassy and whitish, you are going too fast.

One more thing, check your belts it's sound they are loose. A tight belt most likely would break the printed part than loose steps.
