#Prusa

prusa mk4 keeps crashing on first layer, i swear i updated firmware 2.0.1 and set z offset to 0.02, still fails

i've been doing this for a month now, and every time i hit print the nozzle jumps, the print stops, and the slicer spits out a new g‑code that looks the same as the last

• firmware 2.0.1 is supposedly stable, but the community keeps posting the same error logs
• z offset 0.02 is the recommended value, yet the bed still feels off
• i tried retraction 0.8mm, 10mm/s, but the first layer still warps
• i even switched from cura to prusaslicer, same thing

so why does this happen? is it a hardware issue, a firmware bug, or just my lack of patience? i need a fix, not a tutorial

anyone else dealing with this? drop a comment, i need to know if i should replace the motherboard or just keep rebooting

thanks in advance, i’m tired of this loop rn

tbh this is so annoying i just spent 3 hours debugging my printer and im not even close to satisfied... petg is supposed to be 'easy' but my nozzle keeps clogging like its 2018 all over again?? i got the prusa mmu2 setup and its basically a paperweight now because the filament keeps oozing like a bad breakup... anyone else have this issue with the 0.4mm nozzle? i tried 220c temp and 25mm/s speed but its still jamming harder than a creality ender-3 v2 on 100% infill... and dont even get me started on the 'magic' retraction settings they recommend... 1.5mm retraction distance? more like 1.5mm of hope that it actually retracts lol... if youve fixed this let me know rn before i throw my printer into a lake
