Description

When should i print it?

every time you got a new printer
every time you change the nozzle
ever time you got a new print sheet
once a month on textured sheets to hold them clean and increase the lifetime
if you get aware that the model adhesion or the look of the first layer got worse

Full Print Bed

This nice model is useful to check and improve the leveling of your whole print bed. It is not a first layer calibration. You should run the build in calibrations first and use this model to check your whole plate.

We print this test like the first layer proof with an infill angel of 0° to make the smallest issue visibly.

If you find in your print areas where the lines are not connected or the print is not well bond to the bed you have a lot of options.

level your bed
clean the print bed with IPA or what needed
use a thicker first layer
use a higher extrusion wide for the first layer
print the first layer slower
print the first layer hotter

printed, but the section on the BP where I was seeing the issue (opposite end) isn't where the print has "issues. unsure how to diagnose and fix this issue unfortunately.

Your print looks almost good, i would try to avoid putting parts to the front, the center of the plate is almost best. There is the best plate heating. I would try to increase the extrusion wide for the first layer, wider lines may close that.

I published an A1 Mini profile for this. It's a great idea. Here are before and after photos of a well used (read trashed) PEI plate showing how this model highlights issues and how a good bath with dish soap and hot water can cure many of them.

I am quite unsure how this can help an x1c.

It does no matter what FDM printer you use the test did always the same step 1 print, step 2 hold against the computer screen. If the bed has unleveled areas they will be visibly. To know if the printers has such spots and how deep they are helps to avoid putting models in this spots. Also if the issue is small in Z axis say <0.2 mm it can be reduced by increasing the extrusion wide for the first layer. The printer did a meshlevel bed correction what works fine but can not eliminate such spots.

Another really useful tool, I posted some images from my A1 Mini that show how effective this is at highlighting build plate issues as well as posting my own A1 Mini profile for it.
