Diagnostic Steps

  1. Build platform Z-axis level is incorrect, the 4 regulating screws of build platform are loose.
    Diagnosis: The 4 loose regulating screws will make the build platform level be lower, the initial layers will be under greater pressure during printing, causing the initial layers to become thinner.
    Solution: Recalibrate correctly the level of build platform.
