How do I get access?
A physical-book code gives Pro access for 90 days; the PDF edition - for 30 days.
First Layer Tuner
Photo of first layer → ready correction
First layer determines everything. Elephant close to the bed - squish and noisy. Far - ragged and zero adhesion. This tuner analyzes a photo/video of your first layer and tells you exactly - Z-offset up, flow down, temp +5°C. No guessing.
Available with the Pro plan (15 EUR per month). The printed book includes 3 months of Pro.
Key features
Photo analysis
Upload photo/video of first layer - AI identifies 10+ typical problems in seconds.
Concrete correction
Not "try more squish" - but "Z-offset -0.02mm, flow 95%, speed 30%".
Multi-printer
FDM (Marlin, Klipper, Bambu firmware), SLA (vendor firmware). Different commands for each.
Trends
After several calibrations - see how your hardware changes. Cleaning bed, nozzle wear, axis alignment.
Material-specific
PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU - each with different first-layer characteristics.
Export
Ready G-code for first layer calibration (with automatic mesh).
How it works
- 1Print the standard first layer test (download STL from the tool).
- 2Upload photo/video of the result (top-down view).
- 3AI analyzes - outputs problems and corrections.
- 4Apply corrections in the slicer.
- 5Repeat if needed - usually 2-3 iterations to perfect first layer.
Who it's for
New with a printer
First layer is the #1 source of failed prints. Fast diagnosis without months of trial.
Hobby - new filament
Different filament = different first-layer needs. 10-minute calibration.
Print service
Multiple printers - standardized calibration across all.
Teacher
Educational - what makes a first layer come out well.
Frequently asked
How reliable is photo analysis?
~93% accuracy for typical problems. For exotic case - needs description plus photo.
Are photos stored on the server?
No - analysis is client-side. EXIF auto-stripped.
How often to calibrate?
On new filament, new bed setting, or after 1000+ print hours. With this tool - 10 minutes each time.
