A bunch of test prints, intended to be used to check the first layer (after you do all other recommended calibrations as suggested by the manual).

If you get uneven results, try to adjust your bed and/or use this guide to compensate it in the printer: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/TPGip0OmaP-bed-level-correction

(Set the layer height to 0.2mm, not 20mm as it says on step 2, unless it's fixed when you read this.)

There is also another test print there that you may wish to try before this.

If you prefer to level the bed physically instead, then you may want to check this link: https://github.com/PrusaOwners/prusaowners/wiki/Bed_Leveling_without_Wave_Springs

(Even if you level it physically you may have to add bed level correction in the settings as well. Not sure why. Perhaps my sheet is slightly uneven?)

Print instructions

Disable skirt, there is no room for it for most of them (in PrusaSlicer : Print Settings -> Skirt and brim -> Loops (minimum) : Set to 0).

Slice it for whatever material you're planning to use. I've added gcodes sliced for generic PLA, but that's mostly so you'll get an idea of the print time etc. I recommend that you slice the STL files yourself.

The 4x4 square is a 4x4cm square that's meant to be moved to a specific location that you want to check. If it's not too close to an edge, then you may want to enable skirt for it. (The pre-sliced version of the square uses about 0.4g of filament, which this site is not capable of coping with, so I set it to 1g manually.)

These files are made for 0.2mm layers, which seems to be what's most commonly used for the first layer.
