OK, did a little bit of tweaking and levelled the bed. Had a few issues initially, like motors trying to drive through the limit switches, and not feeding filament properly, but finally got it to print something.
It’s a twisted mess like I expected my first print to be, but at least I am getting somewhere.
Ignore the purple colour, I placed marks using permanent marker along the filament so I could make sure it was actually feeding properly.
The print itself has a lot of gaps in it, and the raft is almost non-existent, so I still have a way to go.
Calibrate your e steps, make sure your nozzle temp is correct and make site your extruder gear is tight. This looks exactly like my first prints. Good start though, great work
Looks like the feedrate and temp is off, plus the initial z height is too high. Also, the material, I found the clear stuff more difficult to work with than the colors - perhaps use a solid color to begin with?
Also be aware that your marker introduced moisture to the filament, and as it passed through the hotend it would likely screw with the pressure inside the hotend. That will end up causing inconsistent behaviour.
I’d say that while the single wall object is great tuning object, you might want to get closer with the object you are working on first.
Definitely don’t try to print single wall. You may mask extrusion problems with retract/prime problems. I actually shut off retraction when calibrating, and I start with a solid calibration cube. This makes tweaking extrusion setting easier if you use repetier host or any controller that let’s you tweak real time
