Simplest fix is to tweak your first layer height, try 99% or 101%.
I remember seeing that when i first read the tut, but then my head got crammed full of all this other stuff that i had to remember...... :lol:

Wish they'd get around to fixing it, but I'm going to add this 1st layer adjustment to the work-arounds arsenal. (i did accidentally hit on the 0.25mm layer thing with that dual color traffic cone when i was setting up all those profiles. S3d kept closing it off at 0.2mm layer height.) :roll:

Oh my god, that has been driving me bonkers for a while now!! Thought surely it was some sort of model issue or user error. I need to do more forum searching and less cursing. :lol:
