Generally speaking, it’s worth unscrewing and cleaning the print bed with acetone or IPA before printing. The degree of wear on the bed affects the adhesion of the raft. It’s also a good idea to clean the perforations so that the material can properly anchor itself.
Let me know which PA12 filament you’re using—maybe I have some parameters for it.
The .5mm first layer gap made no difference … Now I have 5 on my desk all with the internal support surface stuck. Perhaps the slicer is not clever enough to apply the same paramaters to the supprt as it does to the first layer.
Anyone want to have a go at suggesting a solution. This is the model and the top layer of the support that is stuck. Z-Nylon
Can you send some photos of the print, please?
Not sure if this has just started happening but in device view, print complete remains at 0% in local mode.
Hi
please read my discussion about the same question
I tried pa12 on my m200, I printed a simple flat spur gear but it will always warp
In general, Nylon has strong surface adhesion, so you might try printing in different orientations to minimize the amount of support as much as possible. Alternatively, you could try using a different material, such as PCABS.
This is probably firmware issue. 2.7.x had a lot of changes under the hood and there still can appear some bugs. We are working on fixing them. Meanwhile you can use latest 2.6 if this is too concerning.
The same thing happens with the M200 Plus too (firmware 2.7.1)
About 30% (5 hours remaining) of the printout gave the error of missing filament. Upon restarting, the percentage of the printing process returned to 0% and the time also returned to 8 hours and not the remaining 5. However, the printing resumes at the point where it stopped, the time decreases but the percentage remains at 0.
All this on the display on the printer.

Firmware 2.7.1
Z-Suite 4.0.0
Thanks for the detailed explanation @Friggy081084. It will be helpful in fixing it.

Hi the attached stl won’t import in to ZS 4 but imports fine in 2.32 so I ended up importing in to 2.32 and saving the project then opening it in 4.0 and could then slice and print. Model was exported from Fusion 360.
Good morning,
I attach a photo where you can see the difference of the first layer of the piece (the one that comes off the raft) made with the Z.Suite 3.6.0 software (piece on the left) and Z-Suite 4.0.0 (piece on the right). The parameters are the same, but the result is very different. The surface made with the 3.6 software remains very homogeneous, while the surface of the piece created with the 4.0 remains “jagged”, not uniform and very rough. I also tried changing firmware, but the result is always the same. Now I’m using 2.6.17, but I tried both 2.7.1 and 2.7.3. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you very much!
Could you provide the .zprojx file or a screenshots of the settings you have set both in 3.6.0 and 4.0.0 versions of the Z-Suite application?
Good afternoon,
here are the two requested files. The piece is printed without supports because it does not give us problems. I noticed that, for example, even at layer 46, you can see some differences and in my opinion the finish of the 3.6.0 is better (see attached images of the two software).
Thanks
