Initial Layer Height

The initial layer height is the thickness of the first layer of a 3D print. It is crucial for adhesion to the print bed and can affect the overall quality of the print. A proper initial layer height ensures that the filament is squished enough to adhere well but not too much to cause over-extrusion.

Recommended values: It is recommended to set the initial layer height to be slightly larger than the subsequent layers, typically around 0.2 mm for standard 0.4 mm nozzles, to ensure good adhesion and a solid foundation for the rest of the print.
