Elephants Foot

Just got my Vcore4 IDEX 500 running. Test prints at looking good, besides a little bit of elephants foot/first layer extrusion. I tried upping the z-offset in RatOS a little and changing elephants foot compensation in Prusa’s slicer from .15mm to .25 with little to no effect. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

That looks more like your first layer is way too close There's a bit of elephants foot going on there too, and it may help to apply the compensation to your first 4-5 layers. But I'd fix the first layer issues first, whether it's overextrusion or z-offset related.

Thanks! I bumped up the z-offset to .3 and I am getting a cleaner bottom. Just have to mess with the elephant's compensation now.
