Such procedure would lead to the first 0.2 mm being cut off from the object.\r\n\r\nI propose to set the standard initial layer thickness to 0.1m (or maybe 0.15mm) and set the initialLayerFlow to 200%"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Ultimaker/CuraEngine/issues/comments/95187034","html_url":"https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine/issues/188#issuecomment-95187034","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Ultimaker/CuraEngine/issues/188","id":95187034,"user":{"login":"Renha","id":3139759,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3139759?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha","html_url":"https://github.com/Renha","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Renha/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-22T13:56:32Z","updated_at":"2015-04-22T13:56:32Z","body":"I always follow this:\r\n> If you tell your slicer to print a 0.20mm first layer, then it should be pretty darn close to 0.20mm.\r\n\r\nIt's №4 there http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=7361\r\nSo no, I'm not compensate flow ratio with thickness.\r\n\r\nYou could easily imagine how 1st layer thickness effects adhesion: when thickness is too low, you have high pressure there, and too strong adhesion (maybe not like here: http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=8065 but bad enough), when it's too high - too low pressure and no sticking. And different materials and different nozzle diameters needs different first layer heights "}}
