You might have the Z-axis zeroed at a low point. <br />For your layer height, it sounds like you need your extruder calibrated.

If that doesn't fix it, it might be that your hobbed bolt is slipping or your filament is not uniform.<br /><br />For the layer problem, decrease your layer height and do a simple test print at a few degrees higher temp and increase the print speed. See if the problem starts going away.

Lower left corner, although the nozzle actually pushes the bed a bit (yes, I've adjusted the z-endstop switch. Even with this behavior, once it starts printing, the skirt and first 3 layers print with the nozzle a little over .5mm from the bed. After the initial layers, it prints with the nozzle much closer to the previous layers. It must be a setting I'm missing, but I can't find it!<br /><br />2) My layers (throughout) look like stacks of filament. They stick to the layers above and below, but you can certainly see the individual filaments. Basically, it looks nothing like pictures of prints I see elsewhere. Also, the sides (instead of being smooth) are ridged. It's a neat effect...except when I prefer a smooth(er) surface. Again, most likely a Slic3r configuration issue, but I can't seem to find it.<br /><br />For reference, I'm running a K8200, Sanguinololu, Repetier and Slic3r on a Mac.]]></description> <dc:creator>ntwrkguru</dc:creator> <category>Pennsylvania RepRap User Group</category> <pubDate>Thu, 01 May 2014 22:37:35 -0400</pubDate> </item> <item> <guid>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?176,34993,345371#msg-345371</guid> <title>Re: repRappers in Pennsylvania</title> <link>https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?176,34993,345371#msg-345371</link> <description><![CDATA[ Hot damn, it worked.

Try to turn the motor by hand. You should *just* be able to turn the motor. If you can't turn it, you have too much juice going in.
