One painful firmware update later and the z-offset bug that has plagued me since getting the Neptune 4 Pro is finally resolved and first layers are good again just like that. I just had to share the thrilling end result.

You can't know if it is perfect, when it still is in progress

~~Why be like that? Why be the person that has to piss on someone's parade, when all they want to do is share a small, personal win?~~

Edit: As covered elsewhere in this particular comment thread, this was indeed a joke. I take it back.

And, I think we can all agree, OP needs to share how they've achieved what may turn out to be the perfect first layer. As an Ender3 owner, I've all but given up trying to achieve this, so open to any tips or tricks I haven't tried.

It was indeed a joke, partly on the unforseeability of 3D printing, but also partly at celebrating too early. You don't celebrate a champions league win, when you have a lead at the half time.

Yeah, fair enough mate. I clearly didn't read it as intended.

It's true though! some times we read into things, what we expect. so it's good to have it clarified!
